Pembroke School applauds our Class of 2023 on their exceptional results across the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) which build upon our long history of academic success.
Our 2023 Dux of SACE Matthew Lim achieved a perfect ATAR of 99.95 and 5 Merits (Physics, Chemistry, Specialist Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, Research Project). Matthew also received the prestigious Governor of South Australia Commendation Excellence Award, in addition to being named Dux of the University of Adelaide’s Headstart program for 2023.
Our 2023 Dux of IB Marco Jin achieved a score of 44/45 (ATAR equivalent 99.7) with 7s in English B HL, Physics HL, Mathematics Analysis and Approaches HL, Economics SL and Chemistry SL.
An incredible 39 Pembroke students completed one or more semesters of university studies, our largest number ever, with 9 studying through the Headstart program, 24 in the Flinders University Extension Studies program and 6 through the UniSA Accelerate program. Of these, 15 students achieved a High Distinction in two semesters, giving them a perfect scaled score of 20.0 towards their ATAR, while 13 students achieved a Distinction or more in two semesters, giving them a scaled score of 19.8 or 19.9 towards their ATAR.
2023 was also another fantastic year for Pembroke students undertaking Vocational Education and Training, with 70 completing a VET course as part of their SACE.
The remarkable results and achievements reflect the commitment and dedication of our amazing students, devoted teachers and supportive families who work in partnership to reach these significant milestones in the lifelong learning journey.
