2025 VCE Results

I wish to congratulate all of the 2025 students for their outstanding results. We are very proud of their achievements and wish them all of the best in their future pathways.

Destination data has been outstanding with 100% of students getting into their preferred further studies.

In congratulating our students for their achievement, I would also like to congratulate the staff. In this I include not only the VCE teachers who worked very hard to support our students through their final two years of schooling, but also all the other excellent staff who worked with the students in previous years.

Insurance

The Department of Education and Training does not provide personal accident insurance or ambulance cover for students. Parents and guardians of students, who do not have student accident insurance and ambulance cover, are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including the cost of ambulance attendance/transport and any other transport costs.

Student accident insurance/ambulance cover policies are available from some commercial insurers and can be obtained by parents/guardians for individual students.

PLEASE REMEMBER: Private property brought to school by students, staff or visitors is not insured, and the Department does not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage.

Annual Privacy Reminder

Our school collects and uses student and parent personal information for standard school functions or where permitted by law, as stated in the Schools’ Privacy Policy and the Schools’ Privacy Collection Notice.

Our Photographing, Filming and Recording Students Policy describes how we collect and use photographs, video and recordings of students. The policy also explains when parent consent is required and how it can be provided and withdrawn.
