The Peninsula School VCE students worked with enthusiasm and diligence to achieve not only their potential but also some extremely impressive results in their 2008 studies.

Lukas Wittern combined university enhancement studies, the study of Latin, Specialist Maths and Chemistry to earn an ENTER score of 99.9, confirming his title as Dux for 2008. Lukas is now studying Earth Science at Cambridge University in England.

Amanda Hammond and Ben Bambery also joined the prestigious ‘99 plus club’. Kirsty Osborne and Amanda Hammond’s success in Literature and English respectively was unparalleled. Their talent was rewarded with perfect scores of 50.

The Class of 2008 earned impressive results with each student striving to achieve their personal best. The passion with which our students pursued the academic challenges of VCE was certainly crucial to their success, but their ability to combine study with their sporting commitments and caring for others ensured a balanced and considered approach to Year 12.

The Peninsula School congratulates the 144 students who achieved their VCE in 2008.

The following is a summary of ENTER scores achieved in 2008:
Thirteen students (9%) received ENTERs of 95 or higher, placing them in the top five per cent of the State.
Thirty five students (24%) received ENTERs of 90 or better, making the top 10 per cent in the State.
