Higher School Certificate Examinations Conclude

By the time the HSC written examinations conclude on Wednesday 11 November, 148 St Patrick’s College Year 12 boys sat 997 HSC papers in 33 courses. 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. Thanks must also go to the parents 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 2020 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 Preliminary grades and Year 10 grades will appear on separate pages of the HSC Record of Achievement.

Students will be able to access their HSC results by telephone, SMS and the internet via the NESA Students Online on Friday 18 December. Students will receive their credentials by mail in January 2020.

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.
