Results - 2011 VCE

For the eighth successive year Ballarat Clarendon College has been named the best performing school in regional Victoria. Given our open-entry policy, this is an extraordinary achievement.
 
"The school is extremely proud of all the students in the Class of 2011. It is pleasing to see our students develop a clear understanding of the relationship between hard work and achieving extraordinary results.

As I have stated on numerous occasions these outcomes are a result of the dedication and teamwork of staff, students and parents, and I thank all those involved for their commitment, expertise and patience in teaching and guiding these students during their time at Clarendon.

Academic achievement is just one measure of success in any school. We believe that being involved in a range of activities enriches students’ lives and hopefully provides a road map to finding out what really is their “heart’s desire”. Those who believe that it is not possible for students to dance, sing, shoot goals, public-speak or hike along a pristine King Island beach and also make optimal progress in their learning in the classroom are selling young people short. At Clarendon we truly believe we can do it all and have fun while we are doing it. The results of our students over the last decade indicate that our approach works."
