2023 Results

"Salesian College Chadstone provides a myriad of opportunities for you to actively participate in this wonderful community, fostering a sense of brotherhood with your peers". - 2023 College Joint Duce, Gavriel Hariyanto

and joint Duces (front left to right) Gavriel Hariyanto (99.75), Principal Mark Ashmore and Hardu Ginoya (99.75). 

Determination, effective time management and the invaluable support of relationships with peers, family and teachers have paid the highest dividends according to Salesian College Chadstone’s joint Duces Gavriel Hariyanto (99.75) and Hardu Ginoya (99.75) and joint Proxime Accessunt Alexander Phylactou (99.0) and Damon Occhiuto (99.0)  

Motivation can come in many forms. For our top four performing students with ATAR results within 0.75 per cent, there was clear common desire to embrace and persist with the challenge of VCE.

All four boys, discovered what they were truly capable of when they committed to giving their best. Despite natural feelings of uncertainty, they were bolstered by teacher’s reassurance, practical study plans, clear targets and integrated breaks with friends and family to support their wellbeing.

We congratulate Gavriel, Hardu, Alexander and Damon on their outstanding VCE results.

Inspired by Educators

As students pave their future’s forward, Year 12 student Sam Rizkalla dreams of pursing a Health and Physical Education course at Monash, Deakin or Federation University.

“I want to be a teacher to make a difference to people’s lives. Helping other students is something I’m passionate about. I’ve had some fantastic teachers at Salesian who have inspired and supported me through my school journey.”

Sam hasn’t let anything stand in the way of his education and zest for life. He has a positive outlook in life, is friends with everyone and is always willing to “give things a go”.

As a trained Liverpool FC International Academy coach and Recipient of the 2023 Salesian College Chadstone Principal’s Award, Sam has formed strong relationships with peers, teachers and staff, living out college values of joy and dynamism in all that he does.

In 2023 Sam was awarded The Rosario Para Player of the Year Award by Table Tennis Victoria, a passion he plans to continue at the highest level.

Leadership in Action

Embracing a consistent approach to achieving personal excellence has been a key focus of the 2023 College Student Leadership Team as they inspired others within their year level to set targets, manage their priorities and get involved in extracurricular and community activities.

College Captain Marcellino Baselyous reminds students about the role of setting goals and motivates others to move forward “whatever you aspire for, and whatever your heart truly desires; strive for it. Progress isn’t linear. It will go up and down, but aim for progress, not perfection and you will always move forward.”

The College congratulates Marcellino, Peter Liptai and Peter Holland on their outstanding VCE results while embracing key 2023 College leadership roles. Going above and beyond their leadership duties, they were always willing to lend a hand to others, sharing skills and knowledge by participating in authentic, collaborative learning.

"I have learnt that the ability to work with others is extremely valuable, and whilst VCE is a competition, maintaining relationships with friends and learning from each other is far more significant."
