2025 VCE Results

Today, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of our Year 12 students as they receive their final VCE results, marking the culmination of their hard work, determination and resilience across their school journeys.

We could not be prouder of this incredible cohort of students and the recognition of their hard work is reflected in the results they received today.

Our gratitude and thanks extend to our entire TKS community, the teaching staff, support staff and families who have worked tirelessly to encourage and support our students to reach their potential.

At TKS, we frame our experience through the metaphor of the three journeys; although today, we focus on and celebrate the culmination of Journey One, the academic, we also acknowledge and celebrate the wide range of achievements of our graduating class.

In 2025, our students achieved a Median ATAR of 85.1 and Median Study Score of 33 – truly extra-ordinary! Significantly, we are also delighted to announce that 40% of our students achieved an ATAR of 90+, placing them in the top 10% of our state. An impressive 63% of our students achieved an ATAR of 80 or above, placing them in the top 20% of the state. Additionally, 6 of our students were awarded an ATAR of 99 or above, placing them in the top 1% of our state. We are also delighted to announce that 3 students obtained perfect study scores in Maths Methods, Physics and Music Contemporary Performance.

This is an impressive achievement and reflects the best results in The Knox School’s history. As an open-entry school, it is not possible to overstate how positive this result is for the entire cohort and reflects the strong trajectory of our school. This is something to celebrate.

As a school community, we take immense pride in the holistic development of our students—an approach that transcends academics to nurture character, resilience and a sense of belonging. By fully embracing their time at TKS, this year’s graduates have built a strong foundation upon which they can continue to excel in their chosen pathways.

Our commitment to holistic learning is reflected in the TKS journey experienced by our 2025 School Dux, Linda He. An all-rounder who enthusiastically embraced so many co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities to lead, try and learn, her journey has also gravitated around her passion for The Arts and Music. TKS is proud to share that she has achieved an impressive 99.7 and her study scores include strong performances of 40+ in two subjects English and Chemistry and an impressive perfect study score in Physics.

Janelle Mathias, our Associate Principal – Head of Senior School, spoke to Linda this morning who shared the following:

When I saw my score, I was surprised, excited and relieved all at once — not because of the number itself, but because it had validated all the late nights, practice papers and worry about tests, SACs, exams and whether any of it would be enough to get into my dream course. I am beyond thrilled that all of the effort and hard work has paid off, and I owe a debt of gratitude to all the teachers and mentors who, over my high school journey, believed in me and saw me to my full potential. It would be remiss to not mention the immense efforts our whole cohort put in this year, that of which only motivated me to work harder, and I am so proud to be able to celebrate the results of Year 12 with such incredible people.

We are immensely proud of the Class of 2025 and all they have accomplished in their time at TKS. Without a doubt, our Year 12 students have excelled academically, personally and in their contributions to the broader TKS community this year.

Whilst the academic results speak for themselves, with many students achieving high-quality ATARs and securing their place in top universities, I want you to remember it is the personal growth, friendships and memories made along the way that truly define our graduate’s experience at TKS.

To our entire community – students, families, staff and supporters – thank you for being part of these incredible journeys. Together, we have designed a learning ecosystem that fosters excellence, nurtures potential and prepares our students for a bright future.

Thank you for your trust and partnership; to speak on behalf of everyone at TKS, we are excited to see where their dreams will take them, and we are honoured to have played a part in their pathways.

I look forward to seeing our graduates continue to be a part of our community in the years to come, whether it is as a Sports Coach, Alumni Tutor, an Entrepreneurial Mentor or one of the other exciting initiatives on the horizon.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025! The world is yours to explore, and TKS will always be here, cheering you on.

Ms. Nikki Kirkup
Principal and Chief Executive

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Some of our Year 12 graduates reflect on their journeys:

My time at TKS has been a journey of both academic growth and personal discovery. I’ve loved the culture of curiosity here. Being surrounded by people who genuinely push you to think bigger and dream bolder. The support from teachers and the energy of the community have helped me gain confidence in my abilities and shape a clearer path toward my ambitions. What I value most is the sense of belonging at TKS; it’s a place where you’re encouraged to explore, challenge yourself, and become a better version of who you were when you first arrived.

Louie Handoko

I loved this high school experience and being part of the TKS community. It taught me what real, long-lasting connections look like and helped me grow both personally and academically. I’ve gained life skills that will definitely support my future aspirations, and the challenges and mentorship gave me the confidence to think bigger. Most importantly, my time here has given me a clearer direction and a goal to work toward.

Eric Lu, School Captain

The Knox School has presented me with so much more than just an education — over the years, it has become a community of mentors and peers who have supported and advocated for the development of my character, equipping me with the aptitudes for success and nurturing me into the capable individual I am today.

Linda He, Academic Prefect
