Congratulations to Yr 12 students

The 2024 VCE Units 3/4 results were released on Thursday. I congratulate the VCE Class of 2024. I am very happy to report that overall, our VCE results are very pleasing, again above the state averages and a little higher than last year’s.

Reflecting on our students’ achievements, they reinforce that the key to success is consistent effort and persistence. I acknowledge the importance of the positive partnerships between parents, teachers, and students, which have supported our students over the years in developing the skills and attitudes that underpin successful VCE achievement. And I recognise the dedication and efforts of our Year 12 teachers.

As well as coping with the demands of Year 12, many students were actively involved in the College’s co-curricular program. Examples include Leadership, Sport, Music, Community Service and Social Justice. This has contributed to developing well-rounded young women and men.

Many of our students achieved outstanding results, and I congratulate them. Some noteworthy achievements are as follows.

VCE Dux of the 2024 Class was Catherine Anderson, with an impressive Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) of 98.95. Well done, Catherine!

The following students (in alphabetical order by surname) received an ATAR of 90 or greater, placing them in the top 10% of the State:

Some key statistics were:

7.3% of study scores were over 40.

The median study score was 30.

10.1% of students achieved an ATAR over 90.

24.7% of students achieved an over 80.

44.9% of students achieved an over 70.

There were two perfect scores of 50:

Archer Stein (Chemistry)

Alana Mulvahil (Food Studies)

Well done Archer and Alana!

Many other students achieved very high study scores. I congratulate these students who achieved at such a high level and their teachers.

I would also like to congratulate our VM students on the completion of their Senior Secondary Certificate. Many have secured full-time apprenticeships, others will be undertaking further education, and some have obtained employment. I wish them all the best in the future.

In particular, I extend our College’s congratulations to our VM Student of the Year, Evie Abbott. Well done, Evie!

With the VCE results in and VCE or VM certificates obtained, some students may be looking for some support, and I remind students and parents that our Work and Further Education Coordinator, Mr Bruce Connor (connorb@ignatius.vic.edu.au) is available to discuss plans with any student who would like some advice.

The ‘results’ of all of our students reflect their commitment to learning, the hard work and encouragement of their teachers and the love and support of their parents and families. I wish our Class of 2024 all the best for their futures.
