Oakleigh Grammar celebrates VCE excellence of its Year 12 students

·

Oakleigh Grammar has announced the outstanding success of its Year 12 cohort in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) exams for 2024, marking another year of academic excellence and student resilience. The remarkable achievements of this year’s graduates reflect their hard work, determination, and the steadfast support of the school community.

Leading the accolades is the 2024 School Dux, Sotiris Bakalis, who achieved a commendable ATAR of 94.15. Sotiris’ result is an extraordinary achievement given he was struck by an untimely hospitalisation and surgery for appendicitis only weeks prior to the examination period.   

Sotiris’ dedication to academic excellence was evident through his committed and continual preparation to study throughout the year with VCE Study Scores in the high 30s in Mathematical Methods and Physics, a testament to his commitment and passion for learning.

Sotiris now looks forward to entry into Astrophysics at Monash University, representing Oakleigh Grammar on a prestigious academic stage.

Christian’s aspirations are to secure entry into Science at Melbourne or Monash University, highlighting a promising future that builds upon his impressive achievements.

Principal Mark Robertson commended the graduates, stating, “I am incredibly proud of the hard work and determination shown by our VCE students this year.”

“Their commitment to their studies, combined with the unwavering mentorship and support of our dedicated teachers, reflects the spirit of Oakleigh Grammar. Together, they have achieved personal growth and accomplishments that extend beyond results, preparing them for a bright future,” Mr Robertson said.
