Another great year

Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.

HSC Results

In 2018, we have had another amazing effort from another excellent group of Year 12 students.  We have once again attained excellent HSC results and our school highlights included:

Sharon Tat - Highest ATAR 98.5
Sharon Tat - Highest ATAR 98.5
  • 47 x Band 6 results (a score over 90%)
  • 266 x Band 5 results (a score over 80%)
  • a significant reduction in Band 1 results (a score less than 50%)
  • Milena Cugalj and Olivia Macmillan were placed on the HSC All Round Achievers list for attaining Band 6 results in at least 10 units of study
  • Sharon Tat attained our highest ATAR of 98.50
  • 11 x courses where the school performed above the state average
  • our school ranking was again #1 when compared with Liverpool mainstream comprehensive high schools

We are very proud of the commitment we have to excellence in Year 11 and Year 12 and our approach is validated by these strong results.  Well done to all of our students and thanks to our amazing HSC teachers.

In terms of my introductory quote, as it is time for us to “leave you all behind” for another year, we celebrate the fact that “the truth” at Cecil Hills High School is that students can attend their local public high school and achieve absolutely fantastic results.

We are all very proud of the quality education we provide here at Cecil Hills High School and this set of HSC results makes our endeavours all worthwhile.

Colour Run

Thanks to everyone for their involvement in our rescheduled Colour Run and to Mr Leighton Wren for his organisation as House Leadership Coordinator.  In total, our school community raised well over $15,000 which will be used to make our fantastic school even better.  Special thanks to our sponsors, Bonnyrigg Tyres and Club Marconi. Thank you to Middleton Grange Rural Fire Service and to our P&C and parent volunteers for their wonderful support on the day.

Save the Date - Year 7 (2019) and Year 7 (2020) Information Evening

An information evening for Year 7 (2020) will be held on Monday, 25 February 2019.  This will provide an opportunity for prospective parents and community members to learn more about our school and enjoy a guided tour of our state-of-the-art facilities.  Ms Dragana Cekic and Mr Nikolina Cupac, our year advisers for this year group, will be coordinating the event in conjunction with Mr Michael Lane, Deputy Principal.  This will also coincide with our normal Year 7 BBQ.  As a result, we invite both Year 6 (2019) and Year 7 (2019) students, parents and families to this double event!  Please save the date and further information will be provided early next year.

Farewells

We are saying farewell to some temporary teachers who will be missed.

  • Mrs Kate Low (English) who is taking up a position at another school.
  • Mr Sam Faulkner (English) who has been a high achieving new teaching graduate and has been appointed to a permanent position at Elizabeth Macarthur High School.

We wish both of these teachers all the best in their future endeavours.

P&C Meetings

Our next P&C meeting will be held at 6:30pm on Monday, 4 February 2019.  There will be a repeat session at 9:30am on Thursday, 7 February 2019.

 

I look forward to continuing to work with the staff, students and parents of Cecil Hills High School, the best school in NSW.
