On behalf of the Genazzano FCJ College community, I extend our sincere congratulations to each and every student in our VCE Class of 2019. Our students have once again achieved excellent results and made a significant contribution to the life of the College. In our 130th year, we were delighted to have 130 students complete Year 12, and we are so proud of their involvement with our College and the young women they have become.

Genazzano FCJ College is a school that welcomes and supports all students to strive to achieve their personal excellence, and as I view the achievements of each of our young women, I am delighted to share with you their outstanding results and achievements. The median study score was 35, and the percentage of study scores greater than 40 was 23%. Notably, 7% of our students received an ATAR of 99 or above, and 50% achieved an ATAR greater than 90. Our median ATAR was 90. What is perhaps, most significant, about these statistics, is the depth of achievement and the role each and every student played within this tremendous cohort.

Our College Dux, Isabelle Brugliera, attained an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank of 99.9. Her results included two perfect scores of 50 in Chemistry and Mathematical Methods, a score of 49 for Physics, 48 for Specialist Mathematics and 43 for English. Isabelle had achieved a perfect score of 50 for Biology in 2018.

In addition to Isabelle’s two perfect study scores of 50, the following students also attained perfect scores: Elena Murphy and Ella Jenkins for English, Emily Condon, Aleida Ryan and Joanna Steedman for Health and Human Development and Shan Kerr for Studio Arts.

Furthermore, we are delighted to announce that the following students received an ATAR over 99: Zhen (Meimi) Liu (99.85), Elena Murphy (99.8), Fleur Williams (99.75), Anna Frazer (99.5), Ella Jenkins (99.25), Shenara Thilakaratne (99.25), Julie Fitt (99.05) and Jacqueline Gregg (99.05).

The partnership between students, parents and teachers at Genazzano is highly evident. I acknowledge the guidance, commitment and dedication of not only the Year 12 teachers but of those who have taught the students throughout their educational journey at the College. We are very proud of the achievements of all our students. I extend my gratitude and sincere thanks to our Year 12 teachers, all staff at the College and the wider school community for supporting and encouraging our girls throughout the year.

As we come to the end of our 130th year, our College theme Gifted with Companionship & Hope, rings, as true as ever. Our Class of 2019 were gifted to each other, in so many ways, and sustained by all those who cared for them. Our hearts today are filled with hope and love for our all our Year 12 students as they venture into a new world of opportunity and discovery.

It is certainly a time of great celebration for all our Genazzano FCJ College community. We extend our blessings and best wishes to each and every young woman in the Class of 2019 – may you continue to demonstrate a passion for life, a love of learning and the courage and confidence to lead and serve others.
