Our Year 12s acknowledged the importance of academic commitment from day one of the school year and maintained this momentum until their final examinations. Our academic staff worked extremely hard with the students both in and out of class, as teachers and mentors, to enable the girls to achieve to the very best of their potential. We also acknowledge the support of the Year 12 parents in contributing to these excellent results,” Mrs Melville said.
