The St Michael’s College community celebrates the achievements of the graduating Class of 2017. It is with pride that we acknowledge the diligence and perseverance of the cohort and recognise their outstanding success in achieving 100% SACE completion.

This achievement is a result of the partnership and dedicated work of both staff and students at St Michael’s College. I sincerely thank all staff for their efforts this year and for the foundations built in earlier years.

Congratulations to the Dux of the College, Ben Fitzgerald, who achieved the highest possible ATAR of 99.95, five Merits and the Governor’s Commendation for Excellence Award.

Of the 214 students eligible for an ATAR, eight students achieved an ATAR above 98. 53 students achieved an ATAR above 90, placing them in the top 10% in the State. 105 students achieved an ATAR above 80.

The graduands can look forward to the next phase of their lives with confidence and optimism. We wish them well and challenge them to continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives.

I’m very excited and more than a little shocked and overwhelmed at my results, but I can’t really think of it as just my results. This was the product of the dedication, hard work and belief of my family, my

friends, my excellent teachers throughout the years and especially my Year 12 teachers, coordinators and the staff and community of

St Michael’s College. Without all of these people, I would not have achieved what I did and I would like to sincerely thank them for their

efforts in helping me to be the best I can be.
