VCE Results

We are thrilled to acknowledge the outstanding academic achievements of our Class of 2022.

This year, our Year 12 students have shown wisdom, perseverance, and courage through a most unique period of time. Emerging from two years of COVID-interrupted schooling, requiring extended periods of remote learning across Years 10 and 11, our Class of 2022 stepped into their final year of School with passion, resilience, and enthusiasm.

Our 2022 Year 12 Cohort have achieved outstanding academic results across a broad range of subjects. St Catherine’s School is again ranked as the #1 girls’ school in Victoria* with a median Study Score of 37, and median ATAR of 92.5, our outstanding VCE results place St Catherine’s in the top two performing schools in Victoria. These results replicate the outstanding achievements of the 2021 Cohort.
