Great VCE results for Catholic schools


Catholic school students have again performed exceptionally well in their VCE, the

Director of Catholic Education in the Archdiocese of Melbourne, Stephen Elder, said

today.


A total of 78 per cent of Catholic schools received a median VCE study score of 30 or

higher which was a tremendous achievement, Mr Elder said.


He said the results indicated the hard work and dedication of the principals, teachers

and students in what had been a demanding year, complicated by bushfires and swine

flu.


“It was a particularly bad start for the community generally, including Catholic

schools, with the bushfires in February and then the swine flu outbreak mid-year.

Despite these disruptions, our schools should be proud of their efforts,” said Mr Elder.


“I want to congratulate all the students on their individual accomplishments

throughout the year, no matter what field of endeavour they have been involved in;

study, sport, art or community activities. 


“The VCE is the culmination of many years of learning and hard work and I would

like to wish students in all school sectors the best as they prepare for the next phase of

their life. Above all, it is the quality of their character and how they relate to others

that is the most important achievement in the life of these young people and I would

like to wish them well.


“Our principals and teachers are also deserving of high praise and thanks for their

achievements in 2009,” Mr Elder said.
