Headmaster of Girton Grammar School, Matthew Maruff, said that the students’ VCE results are excellent and commensurate with VCE results over recent years.

 

“Both our teachers and students have worked hard to achieve these results and they deserve to be proud of themselves.

 

“The students have supported one another and our teachers have been there for the students every step of the way.

 

“We believe that learning involves working in partnership with parents and nurturing the growth and development of the whole person, so our parents must be acknowledged in these great results,” he said.
