Principal Michael Delaney said the results indicated the students had made the most of their learning opportunities.
“I am confident that these results will allow the majority of our students to be looking back at their 2021 efforts with no regrets,” he said.
“Generally speaking, the results are an accurate reflection of the efforts, talents and abilities of each individual in the cohort.”
According to the school, college dux Archer was absolutely delighted with the news of his score.
Other students who scored in the 90s were: Connor Turner, 93.3; Claire Byrne, 93.0; Darcy Elliott, 92.04; Trey Smith, 91.9; and Georgia Allitt, 90.1
Dux: Archer Ritchie, who achieved a score of 94.25.
Seventy-five per cent of the Year 12 students who applied for an ATAR achieved a score of 50 or better.
Some of the students with scores of 40 or better in individual subjects were: Georgia Allitt — health and human development (44), Gemma Brennan — health and human development (43), Claire Byrne — English (41), Meg Kennedy Ripon — English (43), Henry Lalor — chemistry (40) and further mathematics (41), Stella Martin — English (41), Jessica Nunan — health and human development (41), Claudia Sampson — health and human development (43), Greer Thomson — biology (44), Connor Turner — chemistry (40).
There were 108 Year 12 students who successfully completed VCE and 18 successfully completed VCAL.
“These individuals, along with most of their fellow students, have applied themselves to their studies with diligence and commitment throughout the 2021 academic year,” Mr Delaney said.
“It is pleasing to see their efforts reflected in such good results and know that they can look back over their year’s work with satisfaction.
“Those wishing to move onto tertiary study now have the wait for offers of places.
“We expect most of these students to gain entry to further study in the areas that they have chosen.
“Already a number of students who have chosen not to go to university have begun working whilst others have begun apprenticeships.
“At St Joseph’s College we work hard to develop students not only academically but also physically, emotionally and morally,” he said.
“It is rewarding to observe these young adults moving on to the next phase of their lives as well-rounded young adults who possess the necessary skills to achieve goals and make right choices.
“I am confident that they will make a positive contribution to the communities in which they live.
“I congratulate the 2021 Year 12 students for their efforts this year.
“As we all know, these last two years have been very different from other years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I am very proud of the way students and staff rose to the challenges presented during 2021 such as remote learning, border restrictions etc.
“Many times throughout this year I have reflected in awe at the outstanding capacity of our community to maintain a fantastic sense of purpose, adaptability, flexibility and resilience in ever-changing circumstances.
“Many times, I was amazed at the commitment, persistence and courage shown by staff, students, and families.
“Thank you to all the students, teachers and parents/carers who have worked so hard together this year.”
