St Andrew’s Cathedral School is celebrating its best HSC results in the School’s history with the largest cohort of students.

Creative subjects led the charge on high attainment this year, with Drama, Music, Visual Arts and the Design Technology suite of subjects attaining almost 100% Band 5s and 6s in all of their courses. These subjects also attained our record breaking 26 showcase nominations. Our 2023 Year 12 cohort have shown diverse creative drive for many years and we are thrilled that this is being recognised in the HSC.

Here are just some of the highlights.

Head of School Dr Julie McGonigle expressed the School’s pride in the HSC 2023 graduates.

“We are so proud of you,” she said. “You faced adversity and yet overcame. You not only achieved an excellent set of qualifications, you grew in courage, expertise and wisdom. 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 persistence, ingenuity and sheer grit.”

We look forward to celebrating the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP) results which will be released on 3 January 2024.
