Girls school tops VCE again
VICTORIA'S only selective public girls school has cemented its position as the state's leading VCE performer, achieving top scores for the fourth year in a row.
Students at MacRobertson Girls High School recorded a median study score of 38, with 38 per cent of students achieving study scores of 40 or above. VCE subjects are marked out of 50, with 30 being the average. A score between 30 and 40 is above average, while a score above 40 represents an exceptional performance.
MacRobertson's assistant principal, Marilyn Smith, said the school's results reflected a culture of celebrating success. "It's not cool to be a fool here, it's cool to be a high achiever."
MacRobertson's fellow selective school, Melbourne High, obtained a median study score of 37, along with Jewish schools Bialik College and Leibler Yavneh College.
Non-selective government schools that performed well included University High — which has a gifted students program — McKinnon Secondary College and Glen Waverley Secondary College.
Three small country public schools — Cann River P-12 College, Edenhope College and Wycheproof P-12 College — also scored strongly, with median study scores in the mid-30s. At the remote Cann River school, about 460 kilometres east of Melbourne, just two students took year 12 subjects this year, including Catherine Tope, 17, whose tertiary entrance ranking was 77.35.
"It (being the only year 12 student) had its good points," Catherine, who plans to move to Melbourne for university next year, said. "There wasn't anyone else to compare my work with, but I had teachers one-on-one."
St Kevin's College and Loreto Mandeville Hall were the highest-achieving Catholic schools, and elite schools in the Camberwell area produced some of the state's most successful VCE students.
Camberwell Girls Grammar overtook Presbyterian Ladies College as the state's top independent girls' school, while Camberwell Grammar was the best-performing independent boys school, taking the title from Melbourne Grammar.
Away from Melbourne's eastern suburbs, Ballarat & Clarendon College and Penleigh and Essendon Grammar were near the top of the class of 2005.
St Margaret's in Berwick also climbed the leader board. "It has been an exceptional year," said St Margaret's principal, Helen McDonald. "It all comes back to being a school where you do really value personal best … and that school can be anywhere."
The VCE data also reveal that of the 498 schools that offered VCE this year:
■ All the students at 22 schools applied for tertiary places.
■ 200 schools had a 100 per cent VCE completion rate.
■ 32 schools had a 100 per cent Vocational Education and Training completion rate.
■ 34 schools had no students achieving study scores above 40.
The median scores and other school data are published in a special lift-out today.
The 13 Victorian schools that offer the International Baccalaureate diploma as an alternative to the VCE said the data did not give a complete picture of their students' achievements. |
