Casey Grammar School students are celebrating another year of achievements, after the latest VCE results showcased the effort, determination and resilience of the latest group of graduates.
Over 42 per cent of Casey Grammar School students have been placed in the top 30 per cent of Australia – this is despite being a cohort affected by the challenges of remote learning.
The Dux of Casey Grammar School, Juna Gemmell, achieved an outstanding ATAR of 97.75.
Ms Gemmell would like to embark on a career in health and plans to study nursing/midwifery or physiotherapy at Deakin.
Olivia Berry received Proxime Accessit with an ATAR of 96.25.
Ms Berry plans to study nursing/midwifery at Monash, with hopes to become a health care worker.
Casey Grammar School principal, Fiona Williams, says the encouraging results acknowledge the determination of the hard-working students and the commitment of their teachers who ensured it was “business as usual” during the periods of online learning.
“As these students embarked on the most challenging part of their academic journey at school – their VCE years – they faced a series of unprecedented challenges,” Ms Williams said.
“They rose to those challenges with a firm focus on their future.
“We are so proud of the achievements they are celebrating today. I know they will take everything they have learned at Casey Grammar School and use it as a foundation to build a bright future.
“In celebrating today’s VCE results, I would also like to pay tribute to the many dedicated teachers who always go the extra mile to ensure that learning at Casey Grammar School is inspiring and engaging.
“Our teachers themselves are lifelong learners and, every day, they encourage their students to believe in their abilities and to aspire to be the very best they can be.”
