Oakleigh Grammar proudly announces the outstanding success of its Year 12 cohort in 2024,
marking another year of academic excellence and student resilience. The remarkable
achievements of this year’s graduates reflect their hard work, determination, and the steadfast
support of the school community.
Leading the accolades is the 2024 School Dux, Sotiris Bakalis, who achieved a commendable
ATAR of 94.15. Sotiris’ result is an extraordinary achievement given he was struck by an
untimely hospitalisation and surgery for appendicitis only weeks prior to the examination period.
Sotiris’ dedication to academic excellence was evident through his committed and continual
preparation to study throughout the year with VCE Study Scores in the high 30s in
Mathematical Methods and Physics, a testament to his commitment and passion for learning.
Sotiris now looks forward to entry into Astrophysics at Monash University, representing
Oakleigh Grammar on a prestigious academic stage.
The Dux Proximus for 2024 is Christian Dunn, securing an ATAR of 93.3 and excelling in
Mathematical Methods and Physics, with Study Scores in the high 30s. Christian’s aspirations
are to secure entry into Science at Melbourne or Monash University, highlighting a promising
future that builds upon his impressive achievements.
Principal Mark Robertson commended the graduates, stating, “I am incredibly proud of the hard
work and determination shown by our VCE students this year. Their commitment to their
studies, combined with the unwavering mentorship and support of our dedicated teachers,
reflects the spirit of Oakleigh Grammar. Together, they have achieved personal growth and
accomplishments that extend beyond results, preparing them for a bright future.”
Other standout performances include: Arietta Apostolopoulos, who achieved an ATAR of 89.15 and aspires to study Commerce / Law at Deakin University. Daniel Carmody, with an ATAR of 87, planning to pursue Science / Engineering, and has received a scholarship offer to study at the University of Melbourne.
Congratulations to the Class of 2024 for their phenomenal achievements. Oakleigh Grammar is
immensely proud of each graduate and wishes them continued success in their future
endeavours.
These achievements are a testament to the dedication of Oakleigh Grammar’s students and the
support of the School’s passionate educators, who continue to cultivate an impressive
environment of academic excellence that all can thrive within.
