“I would also like to congratulate all other students and there were some individual performances this year, with many students achieving a score which they can be very proud of. Some students overcame incredible personal challenge to achieve their absolute best,” he said.

“These results demonstrate the effort and skill of our teachers who motivate, mentor and guide through the year.”
