Congratulations to all our students who completed the HSC this year and to all their teachers, support staff and families who have nurtured them throughout their education. Today's release of HSC results is a an exciting culmination of the scholarship, work and dedication of our learning community.
We congratulate the following: Brendan C (Industrial Tech), Lachlan D (Music and Studies of Religion), Freesia G (Extension History), Alexander M (Music), Sam T (Agriculture), Lillyanne S (Biology, Studies of Religion, Advanced English, Advanced Mathematics).
In our highly commended list, for performance across a range of subjects, Will K, Monica M, Jed M, Aja P-W, Zoe G, Phoebe M and Alexandra Z. Some students completed parts of their HSC courses as accelerated Year 11 studies. Congratulations to Jack C, Olivia P, Acher W and Flynn W, who enter Year 12 with their construction course completed.
We are particularly proud of students who shined their light in subjects relating to community and family service, creative arts and environmental studies - these areas reflect the strength of our regional community and celebrate the opportunities that are on offer, both within and outside our College.
Throughout their education, we have seen our students develop their talents and share their gifts, overcome challenges and support each other through it all. We wish them all success in the future . Congratulations to the Class of 2023.
