Celebrating our 2019 Year 12 results 2

I am delighted to share the combined results achieved by the Class of 2019, studying the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program.

49 percent of our Year 12s gained a university entrance score of 90 and above, placing them in the top 10 percent in Australia. These are wonderful achievements and we are very proud of our top achievers. The results are indicative of the hard work, passion and tenacity our students displayed throughout the year as well as the tireless support from families and the passion and skill of our staff.

Each student is on their own unique and personal learning journey and I hope every student is proud of what they have achieved. We look forward to hearing from the students as they begin their journey into adulthood, careers and other lifechanging adventures.
