Star Weekly has looked back at our editions and picked out a selection of our favourite stories from 2022, including…
St Albans Secondary College is celebrating
strong VCE results, with close to 40 per cent of
year 12 students achieving an ATAR above 80.
St Albans Secondary college assistant
principal Craig Jennings said the school
community was thrilled with some of the great
scores achieved by students.
“We are very pleased to say that this year we
have received the best results ever This is a big
achievement for the school and especially for
the students. This clearly shows the hard work
of all our staff and all the hard work done by
the students which has very clearly paid off,”
Mr Jennings said.
“Year 12 student Anthony Tran received
the highest score with a very impressive 99.85
per cent and perfect study scores in specialist
maths, further maths and chemistry.”
Victoria University Secondary College’s year
12 students also did exceptionally well despite
the many disruptions they faced, recording
the school’s highest-ever ATAR results. Ten
students received ATARs in the high 90s, with
the school’s dux scoring 97.7.
Marian College dux Ferina Ulku achieved
an ATAR of 97.75. In all 10 per cent of Marion
College’s graduating cohort gained an ATAR of
90 or over.
“For many of our students the journey to this
successful culmination to their years at Marian
College has been particularly impressive given
the challenges posed over the past years,“ a
school spokesperson said.
“Many of our students have had to contend
with periods of remote learning that extended
even further beyond those mandated by the
state. For some students, during the extensive
periods of lockdown and remote learning,
access to optimum spaces, resources and to
their peers was limited.
“These impacts lingered into 2022 and so
this has made us even prouder of the resilience
demonstrated by these young people. We are
confident that these ATARs will translate into
pathways’ success and that the majority will
gain places in their preferred tertiary courses.
We thank our 2022 graduates as they have
continued to strive to succeed and flourish.
