Our Class of 2023 has distinguished itself by achieving the highest VCE results in 10 years.
At St Michael’s we are proud to nurture the next generation of leaders, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, musicians, and visual artists. These are but a few of the career goals of our graduating class. We are delighted with the exceptional VCE results of our Class of 2023 and congratulate them on their achievements. Clearly, they are off to a good start in pursuing their career goals.
A special congratulations to Dux of the School, Camille Letts who attained an ATAR of 99.35. Camille studied General Maths, Global Politics, Italian, Literature, Philosophy, and French (in 2022), and achieved a perfect score of 50 in Literature. Two other students also achieved perfect scores: Yasmin Wingfield in Health and Human Development and Oscar de Brouwer (Year 11) in General Maths.
While success looks different for each student, for our graduates, their ATAR will enable them to take the next step towards their future careers and the realisation of their passions. The breadth of accomplishments in academia, along with their involvement in a broad range of co-curricular activities, underscores the diverse talents and determination of our students, as reflected in the ATAR results.
6% achieved an ATAR of 98 or higher (top 2% of the state). 13% scored an ATAR of 95 or higher (top 5% of the state). 35% secured an ATAR of 90 or higher (top 10% of the state). 60% attained an ATAR of 80 or higher (top 20% of the state).
In addition to our Dux, seven students achieved ATARs of 98 or more: Asher Pang (98.85), Christopher Burton (98.8), Rosa Sherman (98.55), Freya Haggren (98.45), Alec Carey (98.45), Olive Johnson (98.25) and Sebastien Taylor (98).
