St George's Superstars

The teaching behind the triumph

This edition’s Superstars section is proudly dedicated to 15 teachers recognised for the impact they made on the Class of 2025.

Following the exceptional results our Year 12 cohort — including our highest ATAR median on record, the highest of all AngliSchools schools — St George’s introduced a new way to celebrate the teaching behind the results.

Mr Bochrinis announced the Excellence in Teaching and Learning Awards, recognising teachers whose impact across ATAR and APEx courses delivered outstanding student outcomes. While these awards celebrate deep subject expertise, they also acknowledge the personal care, commitment and encouragement our teachers gave students during their important final year.
