ST CLARE’S HIGH SCHOOL – HSC RESULTS – 2022

Principal’s Comment:

“Congratulations to our HSC class of 2022 on their excellent results which are a fitting reflection of their efforts and dedication to their studies during two years of great upheaval and change.  I particularly want to thank our students for their resilience and good humour throughout the year and our excellent staff for their diligence and sustained effort to deal creatively with the challenges COVID-19 has created in the educational environment.  Congratulations also to parents and caregivers of St Clare’s who have supported the young people and the school so enthusiastically throughout the year.  We are proud of our students, parents and staff and the St Clare’s tradition of achievement in the HSC, and excited for our young people as they begin the next phase of their lives.”

According to data from the Daily Telegraph (15 December), St Clare’s is the best ranking school overall in the local area and the highest ranking school in the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese in terms of ATARs and HSC results.

The 2022 HSC Examination results have, again, been very rewarding for St Clare’s High School students.

The cohort of 67 students were rewarded with 28 Band 6 and 86 Band 5 grades with outstanding results in:

• English Advanced

• Studies of Religion 2
• Physics

Congratulations to Year 12 Drama (5 Band 6 and one Band 5), who have had their whole class nominated for OnSTAGE, a selection of exceptional performances from HSC Drama students.

Cassidy Donovan, Lucas Drury, Taj Simpson, Georgia Rourke, Cooper Twemlow and Medinah Well's Group Performance, "The Able Fable", was nominated, as well as Cooper, Taj and Georgia's Individual Performances. This is an outstanding achievement for these students!

Of the 67 students in the Class of 2022, many students received early offers to university, which they have already accepted, while other students have achieved results which will allow them to take up offers which will be made by universities in the coming weeks.

St Clare’s also saw a number of students accept Traineeships, Apprenticeships, TAFE pathways and employment opportunities. Students have also been accepted into the armed forces for a GAP year or permanent placement.

According to the limited contact the school has had with students today, the student who is our 2022 Dux is Taj Simpson with an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank of 96.90.

Top ATARs of which the school is aware at the time of media release:

In closing, I am proud to say that the vast majority of our HSC cohort has achieved results which will enable them to pursue their post secondary school goals.
