HSC Results

PAC gets results.

Congratulations to our 2024 HSC students on receiving outstanding results across the curriculum.

This year we had 66 students completing the HSC. We congratulate the students for the diligence and perseverance with which they have applied themselves.

The HSC results and ATARs continue the College’s reputation for strong academic performance. We had 18 students (27%) achieve a Band 6 or E4 result in at least one subject (40 total top band results). 53 students (80%) achieved at least one result at Band 5 or E3 or above, including 3 results which were notional Band 6s (146 total Band 5/E3 results).

We particularly congratulate our 2024 Dux, Isabella Stewart with an ATAR of 97.40!
