In 2021, 53 per cent of the graduating cohort achieved an ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank) over 80 (that is, in the top 20 per cent in NSW). In 2020, this figure was 60 per cent and in 2019, it was 58 per cent. Our students across both credentials have managed to achieve at very high levels in a large variety of subjects, which points to the excellence of our passionate and dedicated teaching staff, who go to extraordinary lengths to ensure students have every opportunity to excel and reach their potential. Typically, more than 90 per cent of our students are offered their first or second choice course at their first choice university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IB Diploma Programme <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The school introduced the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) for Senior College students in 2009 and the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) to Year 7 students in 2016. Since 2016, all Year 7-10 students undertake the MYP. Around 30 per cent of our Year 11-12 students (around 50 students) choose to study the IBDP. In 2021, the average ATAR of the top 10 per cent of IB Diploma students was a historic high of 99.75 and the average ATAR for the top 50 per cent was a stunning 97.3. It was also the first year featuring two students with a perfect Diploma score of 45 out of 45, which equated to an ATAR of 99.95.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher School Certificate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each year, around 60 per cent of our Year 11 students choose to study the NSW Higher School Certificate as their graduate credential in Year 12. The 2021 Year 12 cohort performed strongly in the HSC: the average ATAR for the top 10 per cent of HSC students was 96 and the average ATAR for the top 50 per cent was an impressive 86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
