Our Results - 2025
Celebrating our Class of 2025 | Finalised Results
Lauriston strives to deliver every student an education that goes beyond the grades and the classroom. Because at the heart of what we do is offer an education for life.
At Lauriston, we believe education should extend beyond grades, shaping confident, resilient young women prepared for life’s challenges. With the diverse pathways of VCE and IBDP, our curriculum allows students to explore their passions. Guided by exceptional educators who are dedicated to nurturing strength and character, Lauriston cultivates mastery through personalised support and holistic learning experiences.
As we consistently rank among the top independent girls’ schools in Victoria, our commitment to lifelong education empowers every student to thrive.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025 – their curiosity, resilience and courage has enabled them to make a significant contribution to Lauriston’s academic and co-curricular program. Our Class of 2025 have made long lasting friendships, developed skills of collaboration and teamwork, learnt how to fail well and how to succeed, and honed their leadership skills.
“As our Class of 2025 prepares to leave the school gates for tertiary pathways, they will be open to following a pathway that may not be predictable or linear. They will be looking out for interesting opportunities, building a network of peers and working with others to achieve shared outcomes.”
– Susan Just, Principal 2025
Lauriston recognises the rigorous process that the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC), the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) and the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) undertake to deliver our students’ results.
We’re delighted to share the finalised combined VCE and IB results and are incredibly proud of the cohort’s combined media ATAR of 90.40, and that 99% of the cohort received an ATAR of 60+!
