Top of the class: Greek Australian students claim VCE dux honours

·

Greek Australian students have once again demonstrated academic excellence, with a remarkable cohort named duxes across Victorian schools following the release of the 2025 VCE results.

Leading the list is Georgios Pirpiris, who achieved a perfect ATAR of 99.95 to become dux of Melbourne Grammar School, placing him among the top students in the state.

At Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak, Stephanie Leon shared dux honours after achieving an outstanding ATAR of 99.25, reflecting the school’s strong academic tradition.

George Mouratidis was named dux of Alphington Grammar School, earning an ATAR of 99.3, while Leah Delios achieved an exceptional 99.7 to become the VCE dux of Ivanhoe Grammar School’s Campus.

At The Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School, dux honours were jointly awarded to Alessandra Heywood and Chris Kouroupidis, both achieving an impressive ATAR of 99.90.

Further north, Paul Koutsivos was named Preston High School’s dux for 2025, with an ATAR of 99.5. Speaking about his achievement, Paul said he was “very happy” with the result and felt it validated the hard work he had put in throughout the year.

Paul completed a demanding subject load, studying Chemistry, English, Ancient History, Specialist Mathematics, Philosophy and Mathematical Methods. He plans to study a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Mathematics and Statistics, and said he was excited for the opportunities ahead.

At Homestead Senior Secondary College, the dux title was awarded to George Menouchos, who achieved an ATAR of 97.4, while Mattea Georges topped the class of 2025 at Oakleigh Grammar with an ATAR of 96.95.

Language excellence also featured strongly, with Melanie Boubis named VCE dux of Cranbourne Secondary College after excelling in two languages. She achieved a study score of 47 in English and 42 in Greek, highlighting the value of bilingual education.

Rounding out the list, Sara Kolovos was named dux of Our Lady of Sion College, achieving an ATAR of 98.55, with the school congratulating her on an outstanding academic performance.

The achievements of these students reflect not only individual dedication and perseverance, but also the continued emphasis placed on education within the Greek Australian community.

As families, schools and communities celebrate these results, the class of 2025 stands as a testament to the strength of academic aspiration across Victoria’s Hellenic diaspora.
