All students gain HSC

All Year 12 students at Brisbane Water Secondary College passed their HSC exams last year.

And many received some "fantastic HSC results", according to senior campus principal Mr David Beattie..

"There were a number of students receiving results in Band 6, the highest performance band, as well as having their names in the Sydney Morning Herald honours list.

"Two students, Emily Francis and Ellie McGuinness, actually placed in the top 20 students in NSW in the PD/H/PE exams.

"Emily achieved a UAI of 98.3 and Ellie achieved 95.45.

"These UAI ranks allowed both girls access to their course of choice at University."

Mr Beattie said "the 2006 cohort" had really positive outcomes from their secondary education.

"There are increased numbers of students going to University, while others are enrolling in TAFE or getting apprenticeships," Mr Beattie said.

"The job market certainly seems to be on the improve."

Mr Beattie said the college staff deserved congratulations "on a job well done".

"Their dedication and commitment to students working towards the HSC is of the highest order," Mr Beattie said.

"Results across the college in ELLA and SNAP Tests, the School Certificate and Higher School Certificate continue to improve, reflecting high quality teaching and learning."

Mr Beattie said: "The 2006 HSC saw students gain top results in ancient history, biology, English, English extension 2, drama, PD/H/PE, studies of religion, design and technology, maths, maths extension 2, entertainment industries and hospitality."
