Celebrating our 2020 Year 12 results
Celebrating our 2020 Year 12 results 2
I am delighted to share the combined results achieved by the Class of 2020, studying the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.
54 percent of our Year 12s gained a university entrance score of 90 and above, placing them in the top 10 percent in Australia. This is a wonderful achievement and one we are particularly proud of given the additional challenges and uncertainty this Year 12 cohort navigated in their final year of schooling. The results reflect the hard work and tenacity of our students as well as the tireless support from families, and the passion and expertise 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. I look forward to hearing from the students as they embark on their journey into adulthood, careers and other lifechanging adventures.
