DUX 2023 Maffra Secondary College

Maffra Secondary College is proud to announce our 2023 Dux – Charlie Giles, who has graduated with an ATAR of 85.4

 

 

We are delighted to announce that our school captain Charlie Giles is the 2023 dux of Maffra Secondary College, with an ATAR of 85.4.  Charlie is an exceptional role model for other students, and has worked consistently throughout VCE.  Charlie said, “Year 12 was a great challenge for me, and I know I would not have gotten dux if not for the support of the people who have been around me for my schooling. Thank you to my family, friends and year mates, teachers, and everyone else who has supported me this year. Next year I plan to attend university to study environmental science and wildlife conservation. It is my hope that my achievements in year 12 will assist me in reaching my goals and living my dreams helping to maintain the beautiful Australian environment.”

 

Principal Jennifer Roep is proud of the cohort who have overcome many challenges to successfully complete their Senior Secondary Certificate, with nearly every VCE student choosing to get an ATAR. "I am really pleased for all of our Year 12 students, including the graduates of the new Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) and the Vocational Major (VM). It has been fantastic to see our Year 12s lead the school, fully involving themselves in the extracurricular opportunities available and building strong and lasting relationships with staff.”

 

Our students have consistently demonstrated our values and will go on to access a broad range of pathways, both vocational and academic.  The majority of our VM students have secured great apprenticeships, due to the broad range of learning experiences and skills they have gained through our applied learning programs and structured work placements.  The College excels in producing young people who are well-rounded, resilient, community-minded, and passionate about their futures.  

 

Student voice and agency has continued to be a focus after our win of Vic SRC Student Voice School of the Year in 2022.  We pride ourselves as a school on our support for all students regardless of their goals, whether they be tertiary study, employment, TAFE or apprenticeships/traineeships. 

 

Our careers team provides individualised support for every student. We work with students on their areas of interest and talents, supporting them to develop skills that will help them in the workplace. Through

the Head Start program we support students to obtain school-based apprenticeships and traineeships, which allows them to continue their studies while starting their apprenticeships. We congratulate the students below who secured apprenticeships and traineeships in 2023.
