About Us

About our college

We regard life as learning. Everything we do is an opportunity to learn; there is no reason for being otherwise. A Clarendon education is embracing and explicit. We are very clear about what drives our decisions around teaching and learning and share this rationale with the entire school community.

Student Outcomes

90 students from our 2022 Year 12 cohort achieved a university entrance score of over 90. Even more astonishing is that 82%, 119 students, achieved a university entrance score over 80, putting them in the top 20% of the nation whilst 17 students achieved a university entrance score above 99.

38 is Clarendon’s median Study Score.

Our Dux for 2022 is Zachary Hengel with 99.9. Achieving a perfect score of 50 in Biology and a Premier’s Award in 2021, Zachary built on that in 2022 with 50s in Chemistry and English Language.

Students have good reason to celebrate when the middle student within our cohort has achieved an ATAR of 92.8. The Class of 2022 achieved results that reflect their determination, persistence and passion. The outcomes also reflect the commitment of the team involved in supporting, guiding and caring for them. Congratulations to our students, their families and the staff.
