Distinctions in science and writing
Several students from Woy Woy South Public School have achieved "outstanding results" in University of NSW writing and science tests recently.
Students took part in the University of NSW International Science Test and also the International Competitions and Assessment for Schools test.
According to school principal Mr Terry Greedy, more than 45 per cent of students who took part in the science test gained a credit result or higher.
"The standard of performance from the students was very pleasing," Mr Greedy said.
"Our Year 4 entrants as a cohort achieved results well above the state average in science.
"Francesca Welham, Nicole Dallis, Marina Noorbergen and Zachary Dingwell were awarded a high distinction for their efforts."
A large number of students from across all grades also received good results in the writing component.
High distinction achievers were Year 4 students Anita Gibson and Alison Baker while distinctions went to Nicole Dallis, Nathan Chapman, Lauren Hayes and Arden Hechenberger.
Aleesha Caldwell, Luke Besley, Emily Hogg and Olivia McParlane achieved credits in the test.
