Of the cohort eligible for an ATAR, 26 per cent achieved an ATAR of 80 or above and 57 per cent achieved an ATAR of 70 or above.

Head of Senior School Sam Brown said while the most noticeable results today are the ATARs, it is important to recognise and celebrate the numerous individual success stories of personal bests and growth that underpin these outcomes.

“This includes those who have secured apprenticeships, traineeships, or employment throughout the year, as well as those who have leveraged Vocational Education and Training to complete their studies,” she said.

“Today is a celebration of student leadership, perseverance in achieving goals, and the commitment to seizing opportunities.

“We would like to extend our gratitude to the supportive community behind each student: parents, caregivers, families, teachers, and support staff. Through this collective effort and dedication, students have been empowered to reach their full potential and lay the foundation for future success.”
