“After all the stresses and uncertainty about the delivery of this year’s VCE examinations...I am very pleased to congratulate our class of ’24 for their outstanding VCE results this year – equal to the best in our history,” Hicks said.
Twenty-five Camberwell Grammar students achieved an ATAR of 99 or higher, placing them in the top 1 per cent of the state.
Thirty-five per cent of students achieved a rank of 95 or higher, while 54 per cent achieved a score of 90 or higher.
Camberwell Grammar’s median ATAR score was 90.85 and its average ATAR score was 85.4.
“ATAR scores do not define a life or a person’s value; the numbers will be forgotten in a few days or weeks. However, the lessons learned at school, the resilience developed and the friendships they have made have a much longer currency,” Hicks said.
“I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our remarkable teaching staff, who helped our students achieve these wonderful results. I know that our teachers are very proud of their students, and I am very proud of them.”
