Principal’s Message

It gives me great pleasure to present our outstanding 2021 Year 12 results to the Marden Senior College community.

Congratulations to the 350 students who undertook SACE Stage 2 subjects at Marden Senior College in 2021 for their personally rewarding SACE completion and ATAR achievement outcomes. At a college wide level, the high achievement of students was impressive, with:

• 46% of grades resulted in the A grade band (compared to 30% state wide)
• 104 A+ grades achieved, 33 with merit

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) we also have a large number of students undertaking VET certificates. This year, 48% of students completed SACE with VET and these do not include students who undertook VET at Marden Senior College but SACE resulted via their home school. VET certificates provide strong employment pathways and remain an important contributor to SACE completion.

These are outstanding results and sincere congratulations to all students and their families. We wish you all the very best as you move into life beyond school.

At Marden Senior College we pride ourselves in supporting all students to achieve their personal best and this is reflected in the wonderful results.

I extend my sincere thanks to all of the teachers who pride themselves in supporting each student to enable them to succeed.

“My learning was hindered when I had teachers I did not have a connection with. My grades and attitude towards learning was poor, and I did not receive the help or connection I needed from them.

As I changed schools to Marden Senior College for my senior years, I encountered teachers that changed my perception of learning, where positive relationships were created and teachers took time out of their day to make these connections.

I now know, by personal experience, how students can benefit academically, through creating strong bonds and good relationships with teachers.”
