A whopping six per cent of girls scored ATARS over 99, placing them in the top one per cent of the state.

More than half of its students (53 per cent) received an ATAR of 91 and higher, with 31 per cent scoring above 95 per cent.

Girls at the independent school achieved perfect scores of 50 in biology, Chinese first language, English as an additional language, extended investigation, psychology and theatre studies.

But the school leadership pointed out this year’s cohort demonstrated “exceptional resilience and determination” because of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority errors.

“[It] created an additional layer of complexity during the VCE process.”

“Despite these uncertainties, our students remained focused and achieved remarkable results.”

When will Victoria’s first-round university offers be announced?By Craig Butt

VTAC will be releasing its first-round offers data on December 23, which sets out the minimum selection rank required for entry into hundreds of tertiary courses throughout the state.

But if you would like to get a rough indication of the rank you will need to get into your preferred course, our searchable database in our Campus higher education hub has the first round offers data from this time last year.

The figures displayed there are the minimum selection rank, which is the ATAR plus any additional adjustments.

While it’s important to keep in mind that the requirements for entry into the 2025 versions of these courses may end up being different based on the level of demand and other factors, the minimum requirements for courses that were offered this year are usually a good indication of the ATAR you will need for entry next year.

You can access the database here.

At the King David School, seven per cent of its students achieved an ATAR result of 98 or above.

A third of its students (33 per cent) received a score of 90 or more with 69 per cent getting 80 or more.

“As our students graduate from our school, we are filled with nachat (pride) at the outstanding cohort of individuals they have become,” principal Marc Light said this morning.

“They care so much about their community and the world around them and will no doubt make a wonderful impact in their chosen fields.”

More than 18 per cent of students’ study scores were above 40, and year 11 students who completed unit 3 and 4 subjects achieved a median study score of 38.

Penleigh students achieved 13 perfect study scores of 50 in 12 different subjects.

Principal Kate Dullard congratulated the class of ’24 for their outstanding VCE results.

“When our students reflect on their time at school, we know the stories they tell are unlikely to be focused on their results; they will instead share stories that reveal what they stand for as a group: kindness, courage, and a deep sense of connection to each other,” Dullard said.

“Nevertheless, as a cohort, they have produced results to be proud of.”

Aspiring engineer scores 99 ‘on the dot’ after anxious waitBy Brittany Busch

It was a nervous wait for Darcy Donohue and his family, with the exiting Kilvington Grammar student having set himself a goal of an ATAR of “99 on the dot”.

“That was my goal at the start of the year, to get it exactly on the dot,” he said. “I was terrified it was going to be like .05 under.”

Donohue needed a score of at least 90 to get into his preferred course – engineering at Monash University – but far exceeded the requirement.

After a worried glance at his study scores, which he said he did not think would get him over the line, Donohue and his parents were thrilled to see he had achieved an ATAR of 99 – on the dot.

“It all paid off,” his dad, Paul said. “He just worked so hard.”

The aspiring engineer studied general maths, specialist maths, physics and compulsory English.

The year before, he completed maths methods and accounting.

The most important thing for students today? That ‘it’s over’By Cassandra Morgan

The most important message to students receiving their VCE results this morning is that “it’s over”, Victorian Association of State Secondary Principals president Colin Axup says.

“You can stop worrying about it. The reality is, an ATAR doesn’t define an individual, and there are so many different pathways depending on whether you’ve got an ATAR and what the ATAR is, and even if you don’t have an ATAR,” Axup told 3AW Breakfast.

There are some universities that will offer a bridging year, so essentially, like a diploma that would then give you credit into, say, a bachelor’s degree.

But there are something like over 600 courses out there on [the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre] at the moment that don’t even require an ATAR. The ATAR is not everything.

You get the number that you need to get in your course. That’s great. It doesn’t matter, actually, what that number is, so long as it gets you into what you want to do.

Or if you don’t need it, they can’t, then that’s great as well.”

The ATAR was a very limited measure of schools’ genuine success in preparing young people for the future, Axup said.

“Young people’s capacities are not based on just their academic ability to do assignments, or sit down and do exams at the end of the year,” he said.

“There’s some good work coming out of Melbourne University around that ... and hopefully that will lead us down a different path,” Axup said.
