I would like to congratulate all of our VCE students on their results for 2017.

Once again we have had excellent results across both campuses, truly demonstrating our extraordinary subject choices and determination to give our students the opportunity to follow their passion. It’s pleasing to see a strong culture of high expectation throughout the year level.

Twenty students achieved ATARs of 90 or higher and one third of all our VCE students who received an ATAR scored above 80. This is outstanding.

I am proud of our students’ achievements and Beaconhills’ reputation as a community school that enables a choice of some 40 VCE subjects.

Even among just our top 10 students this year, there were 19 different subjects studied. These included Biology, Legal Studies, Psychology, Extended Investigation, Chemistry, English Language, Music Performance, Physical Education, Drama and Dance to  name a few.

I would also like to congratulate our College Dux Madison Schenk, from the Berwick Campus, who achieved at ATAR of 97.8. Russell Reader was our Pakenham Campus Dux with 96.7. Congratulations to Madison and Russell.

I wish all of our Year 12 students the very best for their future. Whatever path they choose in life, I hope they will carry with them fond memories of Beaconhills College.

I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all of our College community for peace and joy this Christmas. Looking forward to seeing you all in 2018.
