VCE Product Design and Technologies: Victorian government schools with the most 40+ study scores

924 study scores of 40 or above published statewide in Product Design and Technologies over 2020 to 2025; a further 79 withheld by students who did not consent (counted for 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025); 20 Premier's VCE Study Awards, 4 of them to government schools; 145 government schools listed as offering it, 58 with a published 40+ score. Rebuilt 5 November 2026.

How this table is ordered. Schools with any published study score of 40 or above in this subject come first, most scores first and ties broken by the strength ratio; the schools VCAA lists as offering the subject but with no published score in these years follow, alphabetically. The menu offers the other orders; this page's HTML lists the default. Every figure here is in subjects/product-design-and-technologies.json, and questions.json says what to ask a reader first.

The pooled count of study scores of 40 and over that VCAA published for this subject at this school. A larger school, or one where many students take the subject, has more chances at it.

How to read this

A VCE study score is scaled so that the state mean in each study is 30; a score of 40 or above puts a student in roughly the top 9% of the state in that study. VCAA publishes the name and school of every student who scores 40 or more and consents to publication; these tables count those published scores.

Deep Almanac is a secondary source and this page is provided for general information and reference. It is not financial, investment, legal, valuation, educational or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for checking the original source. Measures are the Department of Education's own published figures, taken from each school's most recent Annual Report, so a school's numbers are only as current as its last report; the Department suppresses a value when a cohort is too small to publish, and a single year can move sharply at a small school.
