Congratulations to our Class of 2023 graduates for their excellent VCE results, released today.

Catherine McAuley College students have been rewarded for their endeavours during a satisfying and memorable year with some outstanding collective and individual performances in both the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) studies.

The Principal, Mr Brian Turner said, “In our commitment to service in the Mercy tradition, we offer a range of pathways, and the students’ excellent results will open doors to many opportunities beyond school.”

• The Catherine McAuley College Dux for 2023 is Tess Rule with an ATAR of 95.25.
• The Dux Proximus is Maggie Keating with an ATAR of 94.90, followed by Alexandra Duke, with an ATAR of 94.80.
• Alexandra Duke received a perfect study score of 50 in VCE Physical Education

Mr Turner said “Congratulations to Tess, Maggie and Alex. They have consistently demonstrated great commitment with their strong work ethic and thorough approach to all subjects. Their humble attitude to their achievements has earned them high respect from both peers and staff. Over the past six years, they have lived our College’s Mercy Values and made a valuable contribution to our school. I thank Tess, Maggie and Alex for their contributions to College life beyond their studies and wish them the very best for their future endeavours.”

All three women intend to launch straight into further study in 2024. Tess intends to study law at La Trobe University, Bendigo while Maggie intends to study physiotherapy or speech pathology, also at La Trobe University, Bendigo. Alex is heading to Melbourne University to undertake a Bachelor of Science with a focus on either genetics or nutrition.

Congratulations to our remarkable Year 12 Class of 2023! This year, our outstanding cohort has achieved an unprecedented milestone by securing the highest proportion of ATAR scores above 70 in the history of our school.

Their success reflects individual academic achievements and highlights the strength of the bonds within our school community. The positive and inclusive culture fostered at our school has undoubtedly contributed to the exceptional accomplishments of our students.

As they transition to the next chapter of their lives, we are confident that the Class of 2023 will carry forward the values of resilience, unity, and kindness they’ve demonstrated during their time at our school. We extend our warmest wishes to each student for a future filled with continued success and personal growth.
