This is reflective of the fact that Lowther Hall remains a school which values a breadth of academic experience and encourages girls to pursue their own strengths and interests.

Nowhere was this more evident than in our four top scoring students with ATAR scores of 99 or higher, who between them studied 14 different subjects and pursued a wide variety of cocurricular pursuits. It is of particular note that both our 2019 School Captain and Deputy School Captain were two of these high achievers.

I commend each girl who has applied herself to achieve her very best and note also the girls who have managed to successfully navigate the VCE journey through times of personal challenge.

Well done to all!
