Recognition and achievement

A tradition of excellence 2020 VCE RESULTS Congratulations to the Class of 2020 on their outstanding VCE results. Their success is testament to their talent, determination and hard work not only this year, but throughout their time at Melbourne Grammar School. We celebrate Eric Wang and Oscar Zhu who attained the highest possible ATAR of 99.95 and the 19 other students who achieved an ATAR of 99 or more, placing them in the top 1% in the State. Melbourne Grammar’s strong representation at this elite level continues our long history of academic success. Above all, our education program is focussed on preparing students for their future. Scholastic achievement is a crucial part of this journey, but we must remember that an ATAR is not a final destination. It is simply a milestone pointing to the next opportunity. A strong moral code and the personal strengths required to embrace whatever the future holds are as important as academic accomplishment. We aim to instil humility and grace in our students, along with genuine care and respect for others, the confidence to stand up for their values and, most importantly, an appreciation of their obligation to use what they have gained at Melbourne Grammar to contribute to the wider world. We recognise and celebrate the many forms of success our students have attained. The Class of 2020 has broadened their perspectives and talents on the sporting field, at the rostrum, on the stage and behind the easel. They have worked in service to others and shown care and interest in the natural environment. For many, their years at Melbourne Grammar began in Prep at Grimwade House. The support our dedicated teachers have given each student throughout their time here is to be commended. In particular, we acknowledge the Year 12 teachers who have demonstrated resourcefulness, flexibility and commitment during this uniquely demanding year. There is no question that 2020 has been a year of challenges. Through ingenuity, positivity and resilience our students have adapted to a changing learning environment. We know these qualities will stand them in good stead, whatever their future holds. I wish every student in the Class of 2020 the very best for the years ahead. We are proud of your many achievements. As you continue to learn and grow, remember that our School gates will always be open to you.
