Congratulations Class of 2017

As we begin 2018 we must look back at 2017 and congratulate our Year 12 cohort on a wonderful performance. Like all schools, we look at the results to see how the girls have performed and congratulate them on their achievements. For many, they have achieved their personal best and so can be proud of the efforts they put in over the two years.

The St Patrick’s College HSC class of 2017 was made up of 97 students, all who achieved the HSC credential. Of these 97, we had 82 who followed an ATAR program. We had four study through Distance Education, three studied a language through an external provider and 23 participated in school-based VET courses, achieving dual accreditation. Three students participated in a VET framework delivered externally and four students completed the Animal Studies course at TAFE. So a diverse group who were able to follow the pattern of study that was best suited to their abilities and interests.

We celebrated these results as a College – with 37 Band 6 achievements, 2 All Round Achievers (receiving Band 6 for every subject), and 24% of our students receiving an ATAR above 80, as well as the same number being placed in the top 20% of the state.

We will acknowledge these achievements at a special assembly on Tuesday 13 February and look forward to hearing the plans these young women have as they step into the next stage of their journey.
