Congratulations Class of 2024
The dedication and hard work, supported by staff and families, has led to impressive achievements.
The past week saw the release of the 2024 VCE results, including the ATARs for students who undertook a scored VCE.
Before I outline the exceptional achievement of our 2024 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 in 2024 we saw the first graduates of the VCE Vocational Major (VM), in which students can undertake VET and School-based apprenticeships and Traineeships to achieve the VCE VM. I am particularly proud of the multiple pathways of our VM students, including Automotive, Bakery, Building and Construction, Electrical, Hospitality and Cookery, Design and Engineering. However, the vast majority of Koonung students (over 87% of students) undertake a scored VCE.
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 2024 cohort of students has been exceptional. You may be aware of the dux of the College, Sky Or and his outstanding ATAR of 98.15, but there were also over 40 other students who achieved an ATAR higher than 90 which constituted 27% of all students. With an average ATAR of 80, our students have in 2024 achieved exceptional results.
We are also 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 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.
