Casey Grammar School students have produced terrific VCE results despite extended periods of remote learning.
More than 55 per cent of Casey Grammar School students have placed in the top 30 per cent of Australia.
More than 13 per cent of these students were also placed in the top 10 per cent of the nation and more than a third of students achieved an ATAR of 80 plus (an increase of 8.1 per cent on the 2020 results).
Casey Grammar School Dux Alexia Gherghiceanu achieved an ATAR of 97.55 and was also a recipient of the Australian Defence Force Future Innovators Award this year.
Alexia plans to study a double degree in nursing and midwifery prior to undertaking a post-graduate Bachelor of Medicine and would currently like to specialise in either obstetrics or paediatrics.
School captain Alastair McKearney received runner-up after achieving a score of 97.00.
Alastair plans to study a double degree in science and biomedicine.
Casey Grammar School principal Fiona Williams said the Year 12 student leaders did a remarkable job in ensuring their peers were supported throughout the year, and encouraged them to focus on the positives in all situations.
“Having endured their final two years of senior school during a global pandemic, their optimism and positive outlook is nothing short of remarkable,” she said.
“Our students’ hard work, dedication and resilience during another challenging school year has been admirable.”
Ms Williams said the results reflected not only the students’ ability to prevail during a challenging year, but also the dedication of teachers in ensuring students did not miss a beat when moving to online learning.
“I would also like to acknowledge the dedication of the teaching staff who continued to go above and beyond to ensure their students’ learning continued smoothly throughout the year,” she said.
“Their hard work and passion have not gone unnoticed and is reflected in the great results produced by the students.”
