SAINT Ignatius College VCE students received their study scores and ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank) results on Friday, with 16 of them receiving an ATAR over 90.

This places the academic achievements of the Drysdale students in the top 10 per cent of Australia.

Sophie Skuza (current year 11 student) achieved the highest study score, 49 (out of a possible 50) in Units 3 & 4 Psychology, which is an exceptional achievement for an acceleration student.

The College ATAR DUX was received by Callum McWaters with a score of 97.5, and is hoping to study Biomedicine in 2019, while Dominic Randall is hoping to gain entry into a Global science and Technology program in 2019.

Chloe Hayes has applied to study Occupational Therapy in 2019, while Mackinley Collins after deciding mid-year that Biomedicine wasn’t her future pathway, has applied to study Electrical and Electronics Engineering at university.

The Waring twins studied different subjects in 2018 and according to their mum Tracey, were super competitive all year.

Both Matson and Bridget have applied to go to university in 2019, Bridget is hoping to gain entry into a Psychological Science degree, while Matson is hoping to complete a double degree in Engineering and Commerce.

Leah Bensted is hoping to study Teacher Education – primary in 2019.

“I was so excited to find out my ATAR! I could not believe I had done so well!” Leah said.

“I really enjoyed Year 12, particularly Indonesian and Theatre Studies, however, all my subjects were brilliant.

“I want to say thank you to all my subject teachers, and also to Mrs Oliver and Mr McLean for all your support. I could not have gotten through the year without you guys!

“Next year I am hoping to study Primary Education at the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne, and I am really looking forward to it!”

VCE coordinator Anna Oliver congratulated all VCE students on their year of study at Saint Ignatius College.
