The College community joined in celebration of exceptional academic performance this morning, recognising the achievements of the Class of 2021.
After gathering with their peers for the Year 13 breakfast, which was delayed from the usual time slot at the beginning of the year, 14 graduates were acknowledged for their outstanding results at a special community assembly.
Nine students from the Class of 2021 were inducted into the 95 Academic Club, having received an ATAR of more than 95 – a feat that places them in the top five percent of all students of Year 12 school leaving age across the state. This year's inductees are:
- Liam Pintaudi
- Griffin Williams
- Edward Astill
- Eric Chapman
- Aaron Ricciardi
- Alexander Richards
- Willem Di Prinzio
- James Nelson
- Samuel Yau
Five past students were also recognised for being awarded Certificates of Distinction by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) for outstanding performance across both Year 11 and 12, and nine young men were awarded the authority's Certificate of Merit.
Eric Chapman also achieved a Subject Certificate of Excellence from SCSA for achieving an exam mark in the top 0.5% of all English students. Dux of the College University Pathway in 2021, Liam Pintaudi, was also presented with a Certificate of Excellence for Mathematics Methods, and received the Alumni Association's annual award for achieving the highest ATAR.
Mr Domenic Burgio spoke to the assembly, praising the exceptional efforts of the Year 13 graduates, but also highlighting their good character and holding them up as role models for their younger peers.
The Class of 2021 achieved a median ATAR of 86.25, with one in three students achieving 90 and above. A total of 83 VET qualifications were achieved and 24 students secured apprenticeships.
The College firmly believes in recognising success in all its forms, especially where students have achieved their personal best.
