Matthew Flinders Anglican College is celebrating after 10 students from the Class of 2010 achieved an OP 1 and another 12 students achieved an OP 2.

Another nine students achieved an OP 3 which equates to one in four students (25.2%) from the graduating Year 12 class achieving an OP 1-3.

Medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, law, engineering, architecture, business and journalism are just some of the career paths open to the students, who will now await the release of tertiary offers in January.
