Congratulations to our VCE students

Congratulations to all those students who have completed their Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE).

Deputy Leader of the Nationals and Member for Lowan Emma Kealy said completing secondary education was a significant milestone and achievement, and one that should be acknowledged and celebrated.

“It is important to recognise that the VCE and Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking (ATAR) result you receive does not define you, and will not define your future,” Ms Kealy said.

“If you haven’t received the result you had hoped for there are many other pathways available that will still enable you to reach your goal.

“Completing your VCE is an achievement that all students should be proud of, regardless of the result. An ATAR score won't define your life, it's what you do with it from here that counts.

“Take a moment to reflect on everything you have achieved and be proud.

“I am sure that all our local students have a very bright future ahead of them.”
