The HSC results were released on the 16th December and the students and staff of St Patrick’s College had much to celebrate.
One Hundred and two students presented for the HSC with 94 seeking an ATAR. Of these students, 22 achieved a total of 45 band 6’s (a mark above 100), across 21 subjects.
Eight students achieved an ATAR above 90 and a further eighteen with an ATAR above 80. We were very exciting to have not one but two Duxes for 2016. Amy Abdilla and Karen De Raya received the impressive ATAR of 96.4, followed very closely by Britney Monk with 95.9 and Lauren Adbilla with 94.55. Amy was also acknowledged as a Distinguished Achiever/All Rounder by BOSTES for achieving band 6 in 10 of her units. Further to this our students also were placed in top positions across four subjects in the State. Sahanuya Thiyagesan (Year 11), was placed 1st in the State in Tamil Continuers, Katrina Zrnic, 3rd in the State in Croatian Continuers, Cortney Druery, 8th in the State in Business Services and Ally Peng, 14th in the State in Standard English. Three students were acknowledged for exceptional practical work in both Drama and Dance. Megan Kay’s Individual Drama project was nominated for Onstage. Two Dance students were also nominated for Call Back; Rhiannon Bowyer for her Major and Core performances and Alexandra Whelan for her Core performance.
