Year 12 students at Methodist Ladies’ College (MLC) demonstrate that opportunities and encouragement to discover and nurture their passions can be a driving force behind achieving their personal bests.
The Melbourne-based all girls’ school applauds its 2023 cohort for their Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) results, rounding off a successful year of significant achievements across 66 different subjects and a myriad of co-curricular pursuits. These include having played over 30 sports, taking part in 14 music ensembles and 199 leadership roles guiding and inspiring their younger peers.
These results testify to the power of all students’ determination to discover their passions and take responsibility for exploring all that is on offer to achieve their best. The College is proud to offer extraordinary teaching, enriched learning and wellbeing environments, and an unmatched breadth of curriculum and co-curricular activities catering to all our students’ individual interests, talents and aspiring pathways.
Key results include:
– One student achieved a top ATAR of 99.95
– Nine students achieved an ATAR of 99 or above, in the top 1% of the state
– There were 11 perfect study scores of 50 across eight subjects, including Chemistry, Biology, English, French, General Mathematics, Product Design and Technology, Psychology and Visual Communication Design
MLC will share the holistic results of its Year 12 cohort in early January when over 20% of its Year 12 students receive their International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme results and corresponding ATARs.
Principal Julia Shea congratulated the students on their results.
“At MLC, we wholeheartedly believe that a well-rounded, balanced education where students can explore their interests is the key to every student’s personal growth and success,” she said.
“It is why we place such an emphasis on supporting our students to discover what excites, challenges and motivates them so that they feel empowered to achieve their best. This is displayed not just through today’s academic results but a plethora of achievements across sport, music, social service, performing arts and more.”
She said individual academic achievements and pursuing one’s interests are intrinsically linked.
“At MLC, we aim to instil in our students the invaluable qualities of resilience, self-belief and confidence, enabling them to carve a path towards a future they genuinely love.
“We take immense pride in fostering a vibrant learning environment that encourages this, and our dedicated teachers and staff who support students in balancing studies and co-curricular activities while providing them with strong foundations for success in their careers and lives,” she said.
“It has been an incredible privilege to witness our Year 12 students grow in confidence, expand their knowledge and find strength in the support surrounding them. While we are immensely proud of each and every student, it is equally crucial to remind them that their worth extends far beyond an ATAR score. As we have emphasised to them through their schooling, there are numerous pathways to achieve their dreams, and we are here to support them every step of the way.”
Year 12 students undertaking the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme will receive their results on Tuesday, 3 January 2024. VTAC will release full ATAR results for schools incorporating the IB scores on Wednesday, 4 January 2024.
