Australia’s private high schools continue to demonstrate outstanding academic quality, with students achieving exceptional results in national senior secondary assessments. Recent data from the 2025 Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) further confirms the strong academic advantage of the private school sector.
VCE 2025 Results: Private Education Continues to Lead
The latest statistics released by the Victorian education authorities highlight a clear trend: students from private high schools are disproportionately represented among top academic achievers.
- 45% of students achieving a VCE score of 40 or above came from private schools, despite private school students accounting for only 23% of the total Year 12 cohort;
- In contrast, government school students, who represent 55% of Year 12 enrolments, contributed only around 37% of students in the high-achieving group.
These figures clearly demonstrate the academic strength, rigorous learning environment, and high teaching standards maintained across Australia’s private high school system.
Why Do Private School Students Excel?
The consistent success of private school students reflects a combination of factors:
- Strong academic culture and high expectations;
- Well-structured curricula and exam preparation programs;
- Smaller class sizes and personalised academic support;
- Holistic student development, balancing academic excellence with wellbeing.
As a result, graduates of Australian private high schools are well prepared for entry into leading universities in Australia and internationally.
