CELEBRATING VCE RESULTS WITH RECORD CLASS OF 2025

The grand final of the education year has come to an end for our Victorian Year 12 students, who will receive their official VCE results from 7am today.

Acting Minister for Education Lizzie Blandthorn today congratulated a record 65,586 students who will graduate with their VCE, and increase of 3,500 compared to last year. The class of 2025 includes 9,777 students who earned the VCE Vocational Major, up from 8,290 in 2024.

More than 15,300 students have received at least one study score of 40 or higher, a record 664 students have received at least one maximum study score of 50, and 3,473 students have been awarded the VCE Baccalaureate.

The overall VCE completion rate in Victoria is stable at 97.3 per cent and Year 12 students across the state will now make the choice to go to university, TAFE, start an apprenticeship or traineeship, start working or take some time off.

On top of these achievements, more than 1,150 students received the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) – a pathway that prepares students for future studies or entry into the workforce.

VCE results and Australian Tertiary Admission Rankings (ATARs) are available from 7am today for students who registered to access their results online at resultsandatar.vic.edu.au/results/applicants.

Students with questions about their results can call the Post Results and ATAR Service on 1800 653 080.
