Prepare for high school success!

Doing well at a Catholic school is much like doing well in any school. Study habits, home support, and tutoring can all make a big difference in your child’s success. Matrix holiday and term courses in English, Maths, Science and more are designed to help students excel—right through to a 99.95 ATAR.

Why look at school rankings?

Catholic schools in Melbourne often combine strong academics with faith-based values. They get funding from school fees, the government, and the Church, and are usually run by the Victorian Catholic Education Authority. Many parents choose these schools because they have the resources to focus on values, structure and support for their students.

Looking at rankings can help you:

• Compare schools in your area.

• Understand which schools are consistently performing well.

• Decide what kind of environment suits your child.

These results give you a general idea of performance, but they don’t tell you everything. They are one of many tools to find the best possible school for your child. Visiting schools, asking questions, and thinking about your child’s needs is just as important.
