University Offers
Reinforcing the strength of our students’ academic achievements and the diversity of their interests and talents, we are delighted that 85% of the cohort received their first or second preferences for university, across a wide range of disciplines including STEM courses.
In true 'world-ready' style, offers were also accepted to overseas universities including the University of Edinburg (UK), Regent's University London (UK), King's College London (UK), Columbia University (US) and Santa Clara University (US).

* The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) provides a measure of overall academic achievement that assists universities in ranking applicants for course selection. The ATAR is arrived at after the VCE study scores out of 50 are scaled. Students undertaking the IB also receive an ATAR, referred to as a Notional ATAR.
