Academic Results
Outstanding 2025 student achievement
WACE and ATAR achievement
The Class of 2025 achieved an outstanding 100% WACE attainment rate, with all 100 eligible students successfully gaining their Western Australian Certificate of Education. This represents a significant milestone for the College and reflects both student commitment and the high-quality support provided by staff and families.
A total of 43 students achieved an ATAR, representing 43% of the cohort, and the academic outcomes were particularly strong at the upper end.

The Kelderman Award for Excellence
The 2025 Kelderman Award was won by Matilda Skerman, who was named the ATAR Dux at Presentation Evening.
The Kelderman family have a close association with Bunbury Catholic College spanning more than 40 years. Five children, four daughters and a son, were all educated at our school. The Kelderman Award for Excellence was first presented in 1991 by Mrs Trish Kelderman’s husband, the late Joseph Kelderman. Mr Kelderman had enormous faith in the potential of young people and their achievements, and he wanted to be able to acknowledge the student on our campus who had gained the highest score in Year 12.
Vocational Education and Training
As part of our commitment to an individualised education journey, our VET program continued to be a strength of the College in 2025, with students achieving 99 nationally recognised certificates.
A shining example of what our students can achieve was demonstrated by VET and General Dux, Anna Lockley. Anna completed both a Certificate IV and a Certificate III in School Based Education Support, and a Certificate II in Outdoor Recreation — in addition to her suite of school-based subjects and more than 230 hours of practical placement.
The BCC Alumni sponsors the VET Award, presented each year to the highest achieving VET pathway student. The 2025 VET Award was presented to Anna by BCC Alumni Committee member Maria Trovato, as she has done for many years.
A collective achievement
The 2025 results are a testament to the resilience, work ethic and ambition of our students, as well as the dedication of our teaching and support staff. Bunbury Catholic College remains committed to offering diverse pathways and fostering excellence so that every student can achieve success aligned with their goals.
