Each year, The Age’s ‘Schools that Excel’ award recognises Victorian schools that have made remarkable improvements in their VCE performance over the past decade. This accolade is awarded to just ten schools across Victoria — one government and one independent school from each of five regions — based on their results.

The Age has recognised that our College’s median VCE study score reached a 10-year high of 31 last year, climbing from a score of 28 in 2014. On top of this, the percentage of students with a study score of 40 or above was 8.4 percent, compared with 4.4 percent in 2014.

An achievement like this is testament to the dedication of every staff member here at Heathdale Christian College, who work faithfully each day to bring glory and honour to God. We give all glory to Him for guiding our journey and express our deepest thanks to the Heathdale community for their steadfast support and commitment to excellence in Christian education. Together, we are building a future that honours Him!
