HSC All-Rounders & Ranked in the Top 1% of NSW Jacob Wills - GRG DUX ATAR: 99.35 Jacob achieved Band 6 / E4 results in: Chemistry English Advanced Mathematics Extension 1 Mathematics Extension 2 Physics I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of the staff that taught me over the past six years. My result would not have been possible without their consistent help. The HSC is a stressful period in life, but the high quality of teaching and support helped to calm my nerves, and allowed me to focus on my studies. I encourage all students to utilise the School's rich resources to their maximum capacity, and not to be afraid of asking any questions.
Luca Nguyen - Proxime ATAR: 99.20 Luca achieved Band 6 / E4 results in: Biology Chemistry Economics English Advanced Mathematics Extension 1 Mathematics Advanced Thank you to each of my teachers for their continuous support and guidance. Their commitment to us as students while we strived and conquered has been paramount to our success this year. My advice to students moving forward is to remain relentless in the pursuit of your goals as it is through persistent discipline and grit that success is made achievable. For the Class of 2024, complete your final HSC year with no regrets – give it everything you possibly have. Good luck to all future students!
