HSC Success at Marsden

HSC Results are in...

It is with great pleasure we received our HSC results today. Marsden High School's 2016 Year 12 cohort have achieved outstanding results reflecting their maturity, planning, organisation and emotional intelligence. We received Band 6 results in most subjects and are particularly pleased at the results being 10% improvement on the previous year. For a comprehensive, local high school with a diverse enrolment these results speak volumes of the hard work put in by both students and teachers. I want to thank teachers and parents for their support shown to our students - all their hard work has paid off. 

In general:

• 9% of the individual results were Band 6 (90 – 100)
• 23% of the individual results were Band 5 (80 – 89)
• 33%  of the individual results were Band 4 (70 – 79)

Realistically, these results detail that 65% of student's individual results were Band 4 or more in the HSC subjects. 27% of student's individual results were Band 3 and less than 8% of individual results were bands 1 and 2. These results are amazing and we are delighted with our students' achievements.

We are especially proud of our students who scored high ATAR's thus opening up plenty of university options. Our dux of 2016 is Ana C., pictured above, who received an ATAR of 98.8 and 3 Band 6 results seeing her make the NSW Top Achievers and Distinguished Achievers lists. Ana was closely followed by Alexis K. who received an ATAR of 96.5. 

2016 saw many of our students make the NSW Distinguished Achievers list. This list highlights students who received a result in the highest band for one or more HSC courses and we would like to congratulate each of the following students for their outstanding achievements,

Congratulations once again to the Year 12 Class of 2016.
