The release of VCE results is always a momentous occasion for students, families, and staff. This week’s ATAR results prompted Alphington Grammar School‘s Principal Dr Vivianne Nikou to express her pride in the Class of 2024, highlighting their impressive performance with a median study score of 30.
Dr Nikou elaborated that as an open-entry school committed to encouraging students in scored pathways, their smallest Year 12 cohort faced unique challenges, particularly the VCAA exam material leakage. This uncertainty understandably added stress to the examination process. Despite these potential disruptions, the students demonstrated remarkable resilience and focus.
- Top ATAR: 97.85
- Median Study Score: 30
- Average ATAR: 75
- Percentage of ATARs >80: 48%
- Percentage of ATARs 90: 21%
The School announced this year’s Dux and Valedictorian, Joudy Sallam, who achieved an ATAR of 97.85, placing her in the top 3% of students across the state. She excelled in English Literature, Legal Studies, Chemistry, Mathematical Methods, including a perfect score of 50 in Business Management. She aspires to pursue a double degree in Bio Medicine/Commerce at Monash University.
This year, 12.4% of the School’s students earned study scores of 40 or above, a benchmark that reflects the calibre of their efforts. Notably, perfect scores of 50 were achieved by:
- George Mouratidis in General Maths
- Joudy Sallam in Business Management.
Subjects in which students excelled with study scores above 40 include English, English Literature, General Mathematics, Psychology, Business Management, Visual Communication and Design, Legal Studies, Global Politics and Biology.
“This is a wonderful way to finish off our 35 year celebrations,” chair of School Council, Michael Karamitos, said.
In a letter to parents and the Greek community, Dr Nikou expressed her praise saying, “these results reflect the diverse talents of our students, who not only excel academically but also contribute richly to our school community through House and School Events, Sports, Music, and the Performing Arts. Many also balanced part-time work, club sports and community commitments alongside their studies, embodying a holistic approach to success.”
The School board extended their best wishes to the Class of 2024 and all that lies ahead and thank the Principal and the staff for all their hard work.
