The wait is finally over for almost 65,000 VCE and VCAL students in Victoria, including Melton and Moorabool, with the release of results and Australian Tertiary Admission Rankings (ATAR) this week.
Education Minister James Merlino celebrated students’ results and achievements – completing their final years of schooling amidst the challenges of a global pandemic and remote learning.
This year, 50,723 students will graduate with their VCE – a completion rate of 98 per cent of students, while another 14,066 students will receive their VCAL.
Victoria’s top-performing VCE students were recognised for their outstanding academic achievements, with 13,935 students receiving at least one study score of 40 or more out of 50.
The 40+ high achievers list was released on the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority website on Friday, December 17.
“VCE and VCAL graduates are impressive every year – but the Class of 2021, completing their final years of school during a global pandemic, are particularly inspiring. Congratulations to every single student right across Victoria,” Mr Merlino said.
“I thank teachers, school staff and families, whose support through the last two, difficult years has played a huge role in the success of this year’s VCE and VCAL students.
“Whether it’s a university course, TAFE, an apprenticeship or getting straight into the workforce, I wish our Year 12s the very best with whatever comes next after a fun and relaxing summer break.”
