Congratulations to the class of 2020 on a fantastic overall result particularly in the light of the global pandemic and all that this entailed in terms of significantly interrupting the academic year.

The College is always extremely proud of our highest performing students but we are equally proud of all students who have achieved individual excellence by achieving their goals. As a non-select entry school Vermont Secondary College is extremely proud of its ability to cater for all students wishing to continue on into Year 12. In some cases a student’s result can be against extremely difficult personal circumstances.
Congratulations to all VCE students and their families, the Senior School Leadership Team and all our Year 12 teachers on providing a quality education for our students. I also thank all staff within the college who have been involved in the teaching and development of the class of 2020 over the last six years.
Thank you to all the Year 12 students who actively involved themselves in the student leadership program, in such a difficult year, in a wide range of areas. Particular thanks to the House Captains – Alison Lipski & John Anastasoglou representing Hotham, Courtney Shedden & Rahul Gupta representing Macedon and Annie Dyett & Lachlan Rae representing Stirling. Thanks also to the two School Captains, Alison and John, for all their support of the college through their leadership role.
I trust students are pleased with their individual performance and that further opportunities will now be available to you so that you can pursue your goals and dreams. I wish you all the best for the years ahead and thank you for your contribution to Vermont Secondary College. Well done!
Again well done to the VCE class of 2020 and we wish you all the best with your future endeavours.
