2022 VCE Results

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE Class of 2022

Congratulations to the Loreto Toorak graduating Class of 2022.

The results of the students’ academic endeavour are reflective of the collective perseverance of the cohort. Each student embraced their final year of School with resilience and a determination to succeed.

Our Dux of School, Elena Chiam, who achieved an ATAR of 99.8, is to be warmly congratulated.

In addition to her fine academic result, Elena was also co-Captain of School and participated in a broad range of Program areas within the School. Elena’s pursuit of excellence was evidenced across the School grounds in her warm and inclusive nature and in her support of peers to also strive to reach their potential.

The Class of 2022 achieved an outstanding median ATAR of 87.35. In addition to this, 28 Loreto Toorak students achieved an ATAR above 95.00, which is a remarkable result. We know these women will contribute in a most significant way to a better world in the future.

They are Loreto Toorak graduates, Loreto women. We wish them well.

Ms Angela O’Dwyer Principal, Loreto Toorak

Margaret Pratt Prize

Background: Margaret Pratt Scholarship

Loreto Toorak Alumna, Margaret Pratt (Whitty, 1977), was diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension in 1993. She was the first person in Australia to undergo three double-lung transplants. Sadly, Margaret died in 2009 as a result of organ rejection. Close friend, past Loreto Toorak staff member and current Board Member, Dr Lesley Gillespie OAM, and her husband Roger Gillespie OAM, wanted to honour Margaret’s memory by endowing a Science Scholarship in her name.

First awarded in 2008, the Scholarship recognises and rewards a student of Loreto Toorak with conscientious interest and ability in the area of Science. Awarded on their final year of study, the endowment supports a student’s plans to undertake a career or further study in a Scientific or Medical Research area, accompanied by the hope of raising awareness of the work of the Margaret Pratt Foundation Heart Lung Transplant Trust, now known as the Lungitude Foundation.

Year 12 2023

Inaugural Margaret Pratt Science Prize

In 2022, Margaret’s widower, Tony Pratt, conveyed his wish to add his financial support to that of the Gillespies’ by creating a Margaret Pratt Science Prize to be awarded to a high achieving VCE Science students. Both the Gillespies and Mr Pratt acknowledge the growing breadth of opportunities for women in Science-related careers and are proud to provide financial incentive to encourage Loreto Toorak students to take up these opportunities.

Loreto Toorak

CONGRATULATIONS

TO OUR

Class of 2022

FABULOUS STUDENTS

Engagement

We are enormously proud of the Loreto Toorak graduating Class of 2022.

This cohort have graduated Year 12 in a unique situation. Their education experience during Years 10 and 11 comprised extended periods of remote learning due to the global pandemic, making these students the first in three years to complete Year 12 wholly onsite. Our Class of 2022 demonstrated positivity, resilience, perseverance and felicity throughout the year, proving their formation as true Loreto young women.

The academic achievements are one part of a Loreto education. Our mission to develop in our students a curious mind and compassionate heart is at the foundation of all we do. In this spirit, we commend the Class of 2022 for the contribution they have made to our School over their entire time at Loreto Toorak. Their energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the School and its values have been a core component of their graduation as young women of integrity and sincerity.

We are proud of these young women who challenged the status quo, supported their friends, worked with their teachers and engaged with the deeper meaning of what it is to be a Loreto student.

In the Loreto Year of Freedom, each student demonstrated the optimism and hope that defines this value, and led the School community to develop “courage to fall…trust to fly…free to grow”.

Mary Ward said that “women in time to come will do much”. This is our hope, trust and prayer for the Class of 2022.

“women in time to come will do much”
