On behalf of Yarra Valley Grammar, Principal Dr Mark Merry congratulated the 2024 Dux, Adrian Leong, who achieved a perfect ATAR of 99.95 and one perfect study score of 50 this year in English.
He also achieved outstanding results in his other subjects which were Biology, Chemistry, Maths Methods and Specialist Mathematics, and in 2023 as a Year 11 student, Chinese Second Language. Dr Merry said this is an outstanding result achieved through considerable hard work and dedication.
“We are delighted with the academic efforts of the Class of 2024. These very strong academic results were achieved by students who participated fully in the co-curricular life of the school throughout their time with us,” Dr Merry said.
“They also showed great modelling and leadership in their final year as seniors. The combination of supportive parents, effective school-wide initiatives to improve teaching and learning, committed and skilful staff, a strong culture of excellence and aspirational and hardworking students has all contributed to these very pleasing results.
“Our students come to us with their own gifts, skills and abilities and we encourage all to attempt Year 12. The emphasis in the VCE at our school has always been on achieving personal best and we are delighted with our VCE results this year and we wish the Class of 2024 all the best with their future endeavours,” he said.
