I am very pleased to share with you our combined IB and VCE results for the Class of 2025. Today, we recognise not only our Year 12 students’ excellent academic achievements, but also the personal growth they have experienced through overcoming challenges and embracing the opportunities presented to them.
The Class of 2025 has been remarkably supportive, cohesive and positive during Year 12, an attitude we witnessed across their earlier years at our school. There were many individual, group and team highlights and achievements this year, including our student leaders driving the introduction, and subsequent winning, of the APS Giving Cup for our whole-school community.
The IB and VCE scores outlined below are some of the highest results we have seen in recent years. I thank our dedicated team of teaching and professional staff for their work throughout the year to support each student to achieve their best. We look forward to further commemorating these achievements at the Senior School Celebration Assembly on Friday 20 February 2026.
We will remember this cohort fondly and we look forward to seeing the impact they will have on the world beyond Carey. We wish them well on their journeys.
With best wishes,
Jonathan Walter
Principal
