VCE & ATAR Results 2023

A Message from the Principal

The congratulations of all in the Scotch community go to the young men of the Class of 2023 for such outstanding VCE and ATAR results.

The Class of 2023 concluded their schooling days with style and maturity. Academically, they have now produced a set of results that demonstrate qualities such as perseverance, hard work, determination, and great scholarship. In addition to their efforts on the sporting field, in music, drama or participating in any number of other events and activities, the Class of 2023 have made a significant contribution to their school and the Scotch Family.

As a genuinely non-selective school, these results reflect a truly remarkable culture of learning at Scotch. As principal, I am thankful for the professionalism of our teaching and support and operational staff. Thank you for your ethic of care and excellence that you have demonstrated in supporting all boys throughout their final school years.

As the dust settles on today and the many wonderful stories of academic success have been told, always remember that who you are as men, as sons, brothers, and friends, will always ultimately be your measure of true success. With these results behind you, strive to be men of good character who do good in our world.

Congratulations and God bless.

Dr Scott Marsh
Principal
