Celebrating Our High Achievers: Hackathon Champions and Early University Entrants

We are thrilled to share some exciting achievements by our students that showcase their exceptional talent and dedication. We look forwarding to celebrating more student early entries as the offers arrive.

Hackathon Victory

Congratulations to our outstanding students who recently participated in the Hackathon competition at the Centre of Excellence in Agriculture Education. Their innovative project on creating a campaign to educate the public about the dangers of driving in floodwaters earned them first place! This achievement not only highlights their STEM skills but also their commitment to making a positive impact on the community. Their project is a testament to their ability to apply their knowledge to real-world problems and contribute meaningfully to societal issues.

Early University Entry Success

We also extend our congratulations to our high potential Year 12 students who have secured early entry into universities. This early acceptance is a fantastic achievement and reflects their hard work, dedication, and academic excellence. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments. As we celebrate their achievements, we encourage all students to continue working hard towards their goals and taking full advantage of the opportunities available to them.

As we all prepare for the HSC remember that our library and school community are here to support you every step of the way. Keep pushing forward, and let’s finish this year strong.
