The Class of 2007 achieved some very pleasing results and maintained the excellent standards we have come to expect of our graduating students. While there were some truly splendid individual achievements, the class as a whole can take great satisfaction from their final scores.

Thomas Gin and Ray Wang were named co-Duxes of the year, both achieving the maximum possible ENTER score of 99.95. Twenty-one students achieved an ENTER of 99.00 – 99.95. Sixty-five students achieved an ENTER of 95.00 – 99.95. It also makes for gratifying reading to note that 107 boys achieved an ENTER of 90.00 and above. A more comprehensive coverage of results will be published in this year’s Collegian.

A number of boys achieved the highest possible study score, which placed them in the top 0.05 per cent of that subject in Victoria:

Thomas Gin	Specialist Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics (as well as Maths Methods in 2006)
Christopher Hey	Australian History
Marco Paoletti	Literature
Matthew Rees	Mathematical Methods
Paul Tamburro	German
Sonal Udayasiri	Chemistry and Physics
Ray Wang	Chemistry (and Chinese L2 and Maths Methods in 2006).

Remarkably, four Year 11 boys also achieved a study score of 50:

John Biun	Mathematical Methods and Psychology
Luke Dawson	Design and Technology
Tim Martin	Biology
Minh-Quan Nguyen	International Studies.

Results and statistics do not in any way capture the spirit of a year group. They are important, of course, in a competitive final year, but Scotch College takes delight in watching young men complete their schooling as well-rounded individuals, ready to step out into the world as confident and educated citizens.

The Class of 2007 leaves a powerful legacy on which future year groups can build. They contributed to the culture of the school in many positive ways, as a dynamic, exciting and vibrant group of young men. We wish them every success in their studies and future lives. GS
