A third COVID wave, teacher shortages and post-lockdown adjustment struggles added to the pressure for year 12 graduates, who will receive their results on Monday.
This year was meant to be the year VCE students could finally cast off their COVID shackles and live and learn unaffected by lockdowns or remote learning, but the long tail of the pandemic dictated otherwise.
Digiglio watched some students struggle to readjust to ordinary school life this year. But for him, the hardest thing was the step-up in workload.“I didn’t feel prepared for year 12.

She’s applying to medical schools, but would also be happy to study biomedicine or medical engineering.“All of the schooling we did do, it all builds up to this one specific point,” she said.
Kaltzidis was told that year 12 would be the “longest, shortest” year of his life. But with a busy schedule, the year went fast.
