Year 12 2023 results

We are extremely proud of the Class of 2023  ATAR results. They are to be congratulated as a cohort on the way they tackled their studies and how they supported one another. It is worth noting that during the important lead up years to VCE, Years 9 and 10, this cohort was predominantly learning remotely. This makes their achievements even more commendable.

 

Thank you to our teaching staff across the School for their unwavering support of our students and their dedication to see them achieve to their potential.
