Following the release of the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) results today, I am delighted to share with you the outstanding accomplishments of the Class of 2025.
Congratulations to Jack Pillay (YNG) and Lachlan Siow (HWK) who have been named Duces of the School. Damon Tatarelli (HWK) has been named Proxime Accessit, while Nemindu Athukorala (SHT) completes this exceptional group of four students who achieved the highest possible ATAR of 99.95.

- 75 SACE Merits and 144 University Studies Distinctions/High Distinctions reflect the diverse academic talents of this cohort.
While the ATAR results of this cohort are remarkable, it is the collective achievements of the Class of 2025 that are inspiring. Their success extends well beyond academics, with outstanding contributions across co-curricular pursuits – in music, the arts and on the sporting field. They served as School leaders and role models and worked in service to others, with the ‘strong and lovely’ evident in their endeavours. A detailed summary of these achievements can be found in our Celebrating the Class of 2025 brochure below.
Everything achieved by this graduating class is the result of a collective effort. St Peter’s College is, above all, a human endeavour built on relationships, connection and the daily challenge to be one’s best self. I extend my sincere gratitude to our exceptional staff, whose guidance, expertise and unwavering commitment have shaped not only the academic outcomes but also the character of these young men. I also thank the families of our students for their steadfast support and partnership throughout this journey.
To the Class of 2025: your hard work, resilience and spirit have brought you to this milestone. As you step beyond the walls and fields of St Peter’s College, may you carry forward the curiosity, compassion and courage nurtured here. Remember that your best is yet to come. Beyond this small but special bubble lies a diverse and exciting world. Go into it with generosity, confidence and a commitment to the common good.
Congratulations, and best wishes for the journey ahead.
