Latest news – ATAR results
Dear members of the Christ Church community
The results for our Year 12 students have been released and our initial analysis has been completed. Once again it has been an outstanding outcome for the boys and Christ Church collectively, with these fantastic results a culmination of the efforts of our hard-working students, extraordinary teachers, and supportive parents and significant family members.
The top ATAR was 99.95 – congratulations to Keaton Wright.
The School is incredibly proud of its students’ performance, and once again we witness the overall success of our students with a median of 92.45. Christ Church is an academically inclusive school – and it is the value we place on diversity and our open acceptance of boys of all abilities that truly enriches the lives of all our students. This significant achievement for the entire cohort of 2017 is the result of a lot of hard work by the teachers, and strong relationships between students and staff.
