HSC Results
Congratulations to our Year 12 students on their outstanding results in the Higher School Certificate examinations. We are proud to announce that the cohort received well in excess of 30 Band 6 and equivalent results, as well as more than 200 Band 5 results. An extraordinary achievement! While the snapshot shared in this newsletter reflects the most outstanding overall results, it is important to also acknowledge all students who worked consistently to achieve results that are personally excellent. We also thank and congratulate the staff whose dedication and expertise has supported our students through their secondary education and the Higher School Certificate Course. Finally, we acknowledge and congratulate parents/carers who have walked the journey through the HSC Course and thank them for their partnership in the education of their children.
The HSC is one of many ways that we recognise our outstanding students, together with sporting, creative and performing arts achievements and community involvement. I would like to acknowledge the following notable achievements:
