Academic Outcomes

Our approach to education values spiritual growth and personal development as well as celebrating academic achievement.

The learning culture of our school is reflective of the personal dedication our professional and committed teachers have to nurturing the potential of each student.

We value the spiritual growth and personal development of our students, alongside celebrating their academic achievements.

Our approach to learning is reflected in the notable academic results of our students. While ATAR scores and NAPLAN results can vary from year-to-year, our outcomes demonstrate that the opportunities our school provides for students to achieve excellent academic results.

Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking (ATAR) Scores

An ATAR is a number Australian Year 12 graduates receive at the end of high school which ranks how they placed among their peers. For example, an ATAR of 80 indicates that a student performed better than 80% of their peers. An ATAR is used by school-leavers to apply for tertiary programs, and by universities to determine which programs students will be offered admission to.
