St John's Regional College Celebrates Outstanding 2025 VCE Success

St John's Regional College is proudly celebrating the achievements of its 2025 Year 12 cohort, following an impressive set of VCE results that reflect not only academic strength, but the resilience, dedication, and community spirit that define our College Community.

This year's results are the culmination of three years of commitment—students and teachers working side by side, navigating challenges, and setting high expectations for learning. Many students stayed after school, while others gave up weekends and holidays to revise, meet with teachers, and attend extra study sessions. Their determination was matched by the staff's dedication, who generously mentored, encouraged, and challenged them every step of the way.

Principal Tim Hogan commended the cohort, describing this year's success as "a tribute to what happens when a community believes in young people and surrounds them with expert teaching, high support, and a shared belief in their potential."

"These results open doors to university, apprenticeships, traineeships, and emerging careers. But most importantly, they reflect the character of our students—their courage, persistence, and willingness to strive for excellence," he said.

Teachers across all learning areas expressed pride in the journey this group has taken, many of whom balanced school commitments, part-time work, and family responsibilities. College staff acknowledged the quiet determination of individual students, the peer support that flourished in study groups, and the leadership of senior students, who modelled a strong work ethic for younger year levels.

"We are especially proud of the way this cohort worked collectively," said Deputy Principal of Learning and Teaching, Mrs Kamila Bielinski. "They leaned into challenges, sought feedback, and pushed themselves. Their effort is reflected in these outcomes."

This year's graduates now look ahead to diverse pathways across universities, TAFEs, and industry—some entering medicine, engineering, education, business, trades, creative industries, and community service roles. Their accomplishments affirm St John's commitment to offering high-quality education for every student grounded in care, faith, and aspiration.

"As a College, we celebrate not just the scores but the journey," Mr Hogan said. "Our young people have shown that courage reaches for the stars—and today, their future is bright."

St John's Regional College congratulates the Class of 2025 and expresses sincere thanks to the families, teachers, and support staff who walked alongside them. The whole community celebrates their success and looks forward to the contributions these young people will make in the world beyond school with confidence.
