Berwick’s Kambrya College has achieved its best ever VCE results, for the third year in a row.
About 17 per cent of Kambrya College students achieved an ATAR of above 90, 39.4 per cent attained above 80, and 96 per cent reached above 50.
The school achieved a median study score of 31.
Principal Keith Perry said this year’s results was a mild improvement from 2020.
“These are outstanding results, and our students and teachers have yet again proven that you do not need to go to an expensive private school or a select entry high school to achieve good results,” Mr Perry said.
The Kambrya College 2021 VCE dux was Caifei (Hannah) Lin, who achieved a perfect ATAR of 99.95.
Mr Perry said it was an incredible achievement.
“We’ve achieved plenty of 99 ATAR results over the years, but this is the first time that a student has achieved a perfect rank. Congratulations Hannah,” he said.
Hannah has been offered the University of Melbourne Chancellor’s Scholarship, one of the university’s most prestigious awards for school leavers, and is aiming to enter medicine at either Melbourne University or Monash University next year.
Mr Perry also congratulated the 2021 VCAL dux Ethan Arbon.
“Ethan produced consistent results across his entire VCAL program, and is now aiming to pursue a career as a firefighter. Well done Ethan,” Mr Perry said.
“A massive congratulations to all the students, staff and parents who have worked together to achieve such great results, particularly under the tough circumstances of 2020 and 2021.
“We couldn’t be prouder of you all.”
