The 2017 ATAR* Scores at Collegiate *Australian Tertiary Admission Rank

In 2017, St Michael’s Collegiate celebrated its 125th anniversary. We are delighted to announce the results of our most recent Year 12 graduates, who continue to uphold Collegiate’s long tradition of academic success. Principal Mrs Judith Tudball said, “A median ATAR score of 91.9 is exceptional and behind these outstanding statistics are many individual stories of success. I am delighted for all our girls who achieved personal goals. These results are a testament to the dedication, passion and expertise of our teaching staff as well as the ongoing support of the Year 12 parents.”The Collegiate community extends its warmest congratulations to the Leavers of 2017. “As a year group, they also demonstrated remarkable service to their local community, participated fully in the life of the School, and embraced a wide range of leadership and service learning opportunities. At Collegiate, we believe it is opportunities such as these that help shape our students into confident, curious and courageous learners,” said Mrs Tudball.

Thirty-three percent of Collegiate students scored an ATAR above 95 – placing them in the top five percent nationally and fifty-seven percent scored an ATAR of 90 or more placing them in the top 10 percent nationally.

The median ATAR score of the Class of 2017 was 91.9

Four Collegiate students scored an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) above 99, placing them in the top one percent nationally. We extend congratulations to: Jennifer Moore 99.8 Eden Isaac 99.5 Crystelle Vanderplas 99.3 Jessica Walls 99.2

The Year 12 cohort raised a remarkable $23,409 throughout the year to support The Link Youth Health Service. This achievement demonstrates that success at Collegiate reaches far beyond scholastic attainment and will make a significant difference to young people in our community.

The Board and staff of Collegiate will remember the Class of 2017 for their willingness to embrace opportunity and sustained commitment to their academic learning. The outstanding ranking of the Collegiate Class of 2017 in comparison to the national average is illustrated in the graph below.

The Tasmanian TE Score is calculated by adding the best five subject scores from the pre-tertiary subjects satisfactorily completed by the student, with the proviso that no more than two of these can come from pre-tertiary subjects studied in Year 11.

Individual pre-tertiary subjects are awarded scores out of 20. Due to the scaling process some scores are scaled above 20, and it is possible to achieve a Tasmanian TE Score of above 100.
