I could not be prouder of their achievements or more thankful for the incredible community that underpins it.’ The average grade for students builds on last year's success with the highest percentage of Grade 9 and 8 that the school has seen, with nearly a third of grades being at grade 8 or above. We have some notably outstanding achievements from Nalia Huggins, Christabel Onuigbo, Rachel Chance, Yakshana Nareshkumar, Gracie Pye, Theo Waters with all results at Grade 9 or 8. We are full of admiration for this cohort who have been fantastic throughout their school journey and I would like to thank their teachers and families for their support and commitment.
