Congratulations graduates and thanks staff
The IEU congratulates the students who are finishing their secondary school journey, and thanks the staff and families who helped guide them.
Graduation is the culmination of hard work and dedication over many years, and the persistence you have shown will stand you in good stead in the future.
The results in 2022 are laudable given the intense challenges, students, families, and schools and staff have faced in the past three years.
More than 49,580 students are graduate with their VCE at a completion rate of 98 per cent, while another 15,163 students will graduate with their VCAL, 6 per cent more than last year.
Well done every one of you.
The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority has thanked IEU members for their role in supporting 65,000 students who received their VCE and VCAL results on 12 December.
“Congratulations to you and your teams and members on the important role you’ve played in supporting students to reach this important milestone, including the support you’ve given to hardworking teachers across Victoria,” said Stephen Gniel, VCAA Chief Executive Officer.
“I want to thank you for the support you have given teachers and students to achieve today’s results, not only this year, but throughout the challenges of the past few years. You have shown leadership, resilience, and flexibility to ensure strong for outcomes Victorian students.”
Over 96 per cent of candidates met the standard for reading, writing, and numeracy skills assessed against new standards introduced into Part A of the General Achievement Test (GAT) and 11 per cent demonstrated a level of excellence in each category.
“This is a testament to the high-quality education being delivered across the state,” Gniel said.
Gniel also paid tribute to how communities rallied to help one another when devastating floods hit Victoria during the exam period.
“Thank you for the kindness you extended to each other and for exemplifying the best of community spirit.”
