In 2011 the College recorded an overall improvement in ATAR scores with 81.5% of the 173 students achieving an ATAR score of above 50. Of particular note were those students who had suffered in recent years from serious illness and whose learning was frequently disrupted but who managed to do very well for themselves. The College is proud of their determination and achievements.

ATAR scores: 14 students had an ATAR score among the top 2% in the State i.e. 45 – 50, and those scores were shared by 9 teachers. A further 57 students achieved scores of 40 – 45, shared by 27 teaches, and putting those students among the top 8% of students in their particular subject. All results are the result of very hard work by both students and teachers. De La Salle College is pleased with the VCE results for 2011 and says ‘thank you’ to all who were part of the effort.
