However, students Jessica Wei, Shaun Patrick and Lauren Zhang from Redlands School were pleased with their university ranks of 99.75 or higher.
The number of “perfect” scores of 99.95 given to private school students who completed the International Baccalaureate dropped by about 50 per cent this year after an overhaul of the contentious conversion process that was previously used to give students their ATAR.
The IB has been traditionally dominated by high-fee private schools, however more low-fee Catholic and independent schools have begun to offer it to students. The course is not available in public schools. Trinity Grammar School students George and John Dedousis, 18, received a perfect score of 45 out of 45 which converted for both of them into an International Baccalaureate Admission Score of 45.75 and an ATAR equivalent rank of 99.95. George said he supported the changes.
Redlands student Shaun Patrick, 17, received the same IB mark of 44 out of 45 as one of his classmates but his ATAR equivalent rank of 99.75 was slightly lower.His classmate who also got a mark of 44, Jessica Wei, received a rank of 99.80.
