We are delighted to share news of the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) results for our 2024 cohort, and pleased to report that again our students have done themselves proud.
We congratulate each member of the Year 12 class. Like the cohorts before them, the class of 2024 not only pursued their academic endeavours with success, but made significant contributions to our co-curricular program and the broader life of Hume.
The results of the cohort provided many notable achievements. Of 131 students who completed Year 12, all were awarded their Victorian Certificate of Education, with 119 receiving an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), and 12 students choosing to complete a non-scored VCE. The percentage of students who received an ATAR of 90+ was 13%, placing them in the top 10% of the state. Those with an ATAR of 80+, placed in the top 20% of the State, was 31%, and 48% of the group received an ATAR of 70+. The average and median ATAR of the cohort continues to impress, recording 70.18 and 68.15 respectively.
Of note was our highest ATAR yet received in 13 years of the VCE, 99.55 obtained by Meron Nona, one of our School Captains. Not only did Meron earn the title of 2024 Dux, but he received three merits, perfect study scores of 50 for the subjects of Biology, General Mathematics and Chemistry. Notably one of these merits he received last year undertaking a Unit 3 and 4 subject as a Year 11. Meron is looking to study Medicine at Monash University. I am pleased to also report a Year 11, Manraj Dhanoa, this year received a merit for Business Management.
Another best result to date was our highest percentage of study scores of 40 or over, at 9.41%, with 26% of the students scoring 40+ in at least one subject, and the median study school holding firm at 30. Fifteen students gained an ATAR of 90+, in addition to Meron, Hernoor Kaur as Dux proxime accessit received 97.90, Ekam Singh 97.00, Panav Jaura 96.75, Abhai Mann 96.40, Jhiro Bautista 96.35, Alainna Dhillon 96.15, Ashmeet Bhola 94.90, Simran Kaur 94.35, Ann Bijo 93.15, Sanuja Kaluarachchige Perera 92.90, Jiya Shah 91.70, Komal Joshi 91.65, Emily Webb 91.65 and Pria Munjal 90.65.
Our thanks go to the hard work and dedication of our experienced teaching and professional support staff who have assisted in so many ways, not just in the final year, but through the entire time the students were at Hume.
We look forward to soon sharing more on the pathways of the 2024 graduating cohort.
