The Principal of the Greek Community of Melbourne Language and Culture Schools, Maria Bakalidou, stated: “It’s a day of great joy. Our students showed exceptional effort in the two years of VCE. In one of the most difficult times of the last decade, under unprecedented conditions, in the midst of a pandemic, they fought, transformed their rooms into classrooms, and managed the impossible; to achieve such high scores in such adverse conditions.
Their efforts are moving and a source of inspiration for the younger students, but also for all of us. Congratulations!”

The Vice President of the Greek Community and Head of the Educational Committee, Theodoros Markos, made the following statement: “We are more than pleased with the results of this year’s VCE exams. We need to remember though, what counts is the effort the children have put throughout their 12 years of study in Greek school and not only the final grades. We would like to express our gratitude to the parents and grandparents of our students for their support through this challenging journey. And last, but not least, a big thank you to our teachers who view teaching as a cause and not just a profession. Congratulations!”
