Celebrating HSC Excellence

Celebrating HSC Excellence

Stage 6 Student Achievement

This term we celebrated excellence in Stage 6 student achievement at our HSC 2023 High Achievers and Dux Assembly.  Annika Sommer is our Dux for 2023 and recorded on the NESA All-rounder Merit List for straight Band 6 results in all courses.  Congratulations to all our award recipients, as listed below with their HSC Band 6 outstanding achievement.  Photos of our celebration can be found at the following link: https://tinyurl.com/yucd4v2h

We wish our Class of 2023 all the very best as they embark on their next challenge in life after school.

Our HSC Excellence Strategy continues to develop annually in response to the deep analysis and planning in response to our student’s personal goals, growth and areas of development.  We have a focus on 8 key areas to achieve HSC excellence, as summarised in the visual within this report.  Our senior study and support programs are led by Mrs Kiarna White and Mrs Beth Lumb in the Library, where our senior learning culture of excellence is being continually fostered to support all students.
