Ellen said she was overwhelmed to hear the news.
“I really want to go to university next year to study education so I can become a teacher,” she said.
“I’ve got the ATAR to get into the course I want at Monash.”
Ellen said her passion to become a teacher was driven, in no small part, by her education at FCJ College.
“Seeing the positive impact all the teachers at the school had on me and a lot of other students is really inspirational.
“I’d really like to be like them one day.”
It was a highly competitive year at the college with star students Hannah Kubeil (92.25) and Georgia O’Brien (91.6) also getting a score above 90 per cent.
FCJ College principal Shaun Mason congratulated all Year 12 students on their results.
“We are very pleased with our outstanding success rate at VCE and VCE vocational major,” Mr Mason said.
“It is really important to note that we are equally proud of all our students who put in their best effort regardless of whether they completed their VCE or VCE vocational major.
“We are proud to have played a pivotal part in preparing these young people over their six years of secondary school education.”
There were high achievers across the college, with Abby Hammond, Jeron Jiby Joseph, Laura Frewin, Scarlett Saunders and Dan Hurley all achieving an ATAR of more than 80 per cent.
“We are pleased to report that many students achieved to the best of their ability,” Mr Mason said.
“They have given themselves the best possible opportunity to move on to their preferred next steps in life, whether that be employment, further study, or a GAP year.”
