VCE Results
Congratulations to the class of 2008 who achieved excellent VCE results.
25.1% of all studies scores were over 40, put simply this means that 25.1% of scores were in the top 8% of the state.
We are delighted with the boys’ performance. Close to 10% of the boys finished in the top 2% of the state and 37% finished in the top 10%. Further to this, the cohort achieved a median ENTER of 84.1 with 60% scoring higher than 80. Our boys now have many choices as they move towards their own, preferred futures.
Congratulations to the Dux of the College, Christopher Shallue for achieving an ENTER of 99.95, the highest possible. Christopher was an Officer and contributed significantly to the College as captain of the Volleyball team and an integral member of the First V Basketball team.
Proxime Accessit was Stephen Melita, a debater, tennis and soccer player and third was Joel McDonald, Officer, volleyball and table tennis player, outstanding contributor to service through Edmund Rice camps and tutoring at St. Albans refugee centre. The boys are fine examples to younger students and truly embody fullness of life.

The Year 12 of 2008 stands as an excellent and high performing academic group. All of the boys drew on the strength of their relationships in order for all to do well. Of course such excellence is achieved only when two other groups work in harmony. The boys’ teachers have worked tirelessly, generously and expertly and the boys’ families have loved and supported their sons as they have companioned them on the journey. The entire community can take great pride in the performance of the class of 2008 and the College climate of learning, family and fullness of life.
