The Orbost Community College (OCC) community is extremely proud of all its 2025 school leavers.
Year 10-12 leader, Rob Clay, said the achievement of completing 13 years of primary and secondary education is significant.
“The students who sat the VCE exams have performed extremely well and they should be very proud of their achievements,” Mr Clay said.
“The student ATARs that came out Thursday morning are an important part of the university entry process, but there are multiple options and pathways.”
Students who didn’t perform as well as they hoped are encouraged to contact the college and speak with the careers team regarding their many options.
The college Dux this year was Toby Herbert and the highest scoring female student was Tash Loughran.
Many school leavers completed a non-scored VCE or VCE-Vocational Major qualification, including several school-based apprenticeships.
Some of these students have already progressed on to full-time apprenticeships and traineeships.
“The fact that our students have such varied pathways and that almost all of them have already begun either full-time or part-time work is testament to their success and preparedness to take the next steps in their journey beyond secondary school,” Mr Clay said.
“The focus at OSC/OCC over the last few years has been on helping all students develop into independent and likeable young adults, equipped with the skills and abilities to explore their own career pathways.
“We are confident that our 2024 school leavers will do just that, we’re excited for what their futures hold.”
