Bellarine Secondary College’s Class of 2022 celebrated on Monday with some impressive VCE results.
A total of 94 students received an ATAR with 45 per cent scoring greater than 70 while 20 per cent scored more than 80.
There were 10 students who achieved an ATAR in the 90s, including dux Dylan Connell, who scored 98.
Dylan said he was surprised when he found out how well he had done and hopes to do a Bachelor of Science Master of Engineering at university with a view to perhaps getting into robotics.
He said the entire Class of 2022 helped each other during the year and that a return to face to face learning was welcomed.
“If you needed help you just asked someone and they helped you out,” the Indented Head resident said.
“I’m quite proud of everyone.”
Dylan has a few months off before embarking on university and plans to hang out with friends, do some bike riding and “join a gym at some point”.
“I might get a job and hang out with friends a bit more,” he said.
“I haven’t had much time to do that especially over the last six months and there are a few 18th birthday parties coming up.”
Bellarine Secondary students achieved 19 Study Scores of 40 plus which placed them in the top nine per cent in Victoria.
There are numerous other success stories where students have achieved beyond what they hoped as a result of their hard work and application, school principal Wayne Johannesen said.
“On behalf of the college community I congratulate all of the students in the Class of 2022 for your fabulous achievements this year in both VCE and VCAL,” he said.
“We are very proud of each of you and look forward to the next exciting steps in your lives.”
After Dylan Connell, Ethan Pope scored 96.1, Odi Evans 95.5, Owen Bonney 93.5, Alannah Ogilvie-Moore 93.2, Olivia Skeen 93.15, Emily Patrick-Knight 92.4, Ethan-Craig MacDonald 92.4, Katelyn Miller 90.8 and Livia Mantelli 90.8.
