Congratulations HSC 2022 graduates! We are so proud of you. You faced adversity and yet overcame. You not only achieved qualifications; you grew in character, perhaps even more so than those that went before, due to the interruptions you faced and the agility and patience you had to show. You, your parents and we as staff, all know that behind each set of results (whether they feature in the headlines above or not) there are stories of courage, persistence, ingenuity and sheer grit.
