Congratulations Class of 2025

The dedication and hard work, supported by staff and  families, has led to impressive achievements. 
                           

Before I outline the exceptional achievement of our 2025 cohort of students, I would like to remind all families that the ATAR and scored VCE is just one of the pathways available for students at Koonung. Together with scored VCE, some students undertake a non-scored VCE and others the VCE Vocational Major (VM), in which students can undertake VET and School-based apprenticeships and Traineeships to achieve the VCE VM. At Koonung, the vast majority of Koonung students (over 85% of students) undertake a scored VCE. I am particularly proud of the multiple pathways of our VM students, including Automotive, Building and Construction, Electrical, Landscaping, Horse training, Allied Health, Childcare and Plumbing. I would like to congratulate our Applied Learning Excellence Award winner for 2025, Tanar Marks and acknowledge his pathway in electrical.  

Much is spoken about the VCE, ATARs and the Median Study Score of a school. We are pleased to share that the achievement of the 2025 cohort of students has been exceptional. Congratulations to our 2025 Dux of the College, Luca Brincat, his hard work and dedication led to an outstanding ATAR. In addition, there were also over 34 other students who achieved an ATAR higher than 90 which constituted 25% of all students. 

We are pleased to share that the high-level achievement of our students saw a Median study score of the College of 32. This sees the achievement of our Koonung students amongst the best of government schools in Victoria. Congratulations to all of our students for their hard work and achievement, a big thank you to our brilliant teachers and support staff for their work and thank you to you, our families, for your support as we work together to see our Koonung students work hard to achieve their goals and aspirations.
