Higher School Certificate Examinations Conclude

By the time the HSC written examinations conclude on Friday 4 November, 165 St Patrick’s College Year 12 boys sat 1095 HSC papers in 35 courses. Additionally, 22 Year 11 accelerated students sat the Mathematics Advanced paper. Many thanks must go to the parents who gave their time so generously to assist our NESA HSC Presiding Officer, Mrs Joanne Saric, with the administration and supervision of the examinations. Their professionalism and competence have ensured the smooth running of this important enterprise. Thank you must also go to the parents and Year 11 students who volunteered their time as reader/writers for those boys with special examination needs.

Higher School Certificate Results and Credentials

Each student of the graduating Class of 2023 will receive the Higher School Certificate Testamur and the Higher School Certificate Record of Achievement which lists the results in all HSC courses satisfactorily completed.

The HSC Record of Achievement will include students' Year 11 Preliminary course grades and their Year 10 grades. This provides formal recognition of students' senior secondary school achievements. The HSC results, Year 11 grades and Year 10 grades will appear on separate pages of the HSCRecord of Achievement.

Students will be able to access their HSC results by telephone, SMS and the internet via the NESA Students Online facility on Thursday 14 December. Students will receive their credentials by mail in January 2024.

The pre-Christmas release of HSC results allows students more time to take advantage of various support services before making decisions about further education, employment and other plans.
