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 now looks forward to entry into Astrophysics at Monash University, representing Oakleigh Grammar on a prestigious academic stage.
The Dux Proximus for 2024 is Christian Dunn, securing an ATAR of 93.3 and excelling in Mathematical Methods and Physics, with Study Scores in the high 30s. 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.
Other standout performances include:
- Arietta Apostolopoulos, who achieved an ATAR of 89.15 and aspires to study Commerce / Law at Deakin University.
- Daniel Carmody, with an ATAR of 87, planning to pursue Science / Engineering, and has received a scholarship offer to study at the University of Melbourne.

These achievements are a testament to the dedication of Oakleigh Grammar’s students and the support of the School’s passionate educators, who continue to cultivate an impressive environment of academic excellence that all can thrive within.
