It is with immense pride that I share the best VCE and VCE-VM results in the history of our college! Congratulations to our Year 12 VCE students who received their results and certificates on Thursday 11th December. So many students came together to share their results with friends and staff for Morning Tea; it really was a pleasure to be a part of this experience.

The staff here at Mordialloc College are very proud of our Year 12 2025 cohort, all of their resilience and commitment to hard work really paid off, and I am pleased to report that for our Mordialloc College students in 2025:

• 9% of students achieved a 95+ ATAR, 21%  of students achieved a 90+ ATAR, 41% of students achieved an 80+ ATAR.  Our median ATAR was 74.6.
• We achieved a median Study Score of 31.
• 9% of our Study Scores were over 40.

Doanvy Roberts and Moira Philp (Career Practitioners) have been available over the last few weeks for any conversations around careers, and for change of preference appointments for university or TAFE courses. Our students are applying for a range of university courses including: BioMed (Honours), Engineering (Honours), Science, Arts, Architecture, Education, and Nursing.

On a subject level, we have achieved excellent results that exceeded the state average. 

Those subjects include: Biology, Chemistry, Dance (VCE VET), English, English as an Additional Language, Health and Human Development, Japanese (First Language), Greek, Legal Studies, General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, Media, Music Performance (VCE VET), Outdoor and Environmental Studies, Physics, Art: Making and Exhibiting, Visual Communication: Design.

What is the key to our success? In no particular order: great professional relationships between staff and students, intentional effort when skilfully delivering the content, a relentless approach to always evolving our teaching to meet students at their personalised point of need, and so much hard work! 

While we will always take every opportunity to celebrate individual student success stories, it is important to remind everyone in our wider school community that the  ATAR does not define any of our students. Ultimately, it is a rank for tertiary admission; it is no reflection on how hard any individual student worked, it won’t necessarily determine where you will go in the future, or how happy you will be. 

Every one of our students should feel delighted with their efforts, proud in the knowledge that they gave their personal best, and that we have enjoyed working with them so very much during their time at Mordialloc College. 

I know you will all also join me in giving a special mention to our 2025 Year 12 teachers: a huge thank you to our staff who go above and beyond for your children every single day.
