This week more than 89,000 Victorian students received their final results.
This year, 49,581 students completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) – a completion rate of 98 per cent.
Another 15,163 students completed their Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) , 6 per cent more than last year.
3350 students were awarded the VCE Baccalaureate.
13,607 students received a study score of 40 or more, and 629 study scores were awarded at the maximum of 50.
Education minister Natalie Hutchins said the results marked an exciting step for students moving from secondary education into further study, training, or the workforce.
“These results show our education system is delivering high-quality outcomes, setting students up for future success in whatever pathway they choose,” she said.
“I want to acknowledge and thank the hardworking teachers, principals and parents right across the state who have supported students to achieve these fantastic results.”
