All HSC students gain certificate

Students at Brisbane Water Secondary College have continued to perform, according to college principal Mr Pat Lewis.

All 185 students who sat the HSC were successful in gaining the certificate.

"This is a triumph for our local school in raising the educational profile of our community and is only the beginning of what can increasingly be achieved as the college continues to improve student learning outcomes," Mr Lewis said.

"Teachers and students in design and technology, drama, English extension, computing studies, textiles and design, construction, business services, hospitality, primary industries, and information technology all produced results above State average with a large number of other courses also improving on 2004 results.

"Outstanding students who were placed in the State's top performance band in a range of subjects were Sarah Harvey, Alex Beaton, Daniel Stone, Rachel McKillop, Justin Steward, Andrew Hurl, Amanda Lilleyman, Cameron Matthews, Jack McPhee, Dale Miller and Michael Serra.

"Several of the HSC courses have practical components and again students have performed outstandingly."

Sarah Harvey, Alex Beaton, Amanda Lilleyman, and Daniel Stone had their group drama item nominated for the State-wide On Stage production and Daniel had his individual project exhibited, Mr Lewis said.

"Sarah Harvey also produced outstanding works in Visual Arts and Design and Technology and had her works exhibited among the state's best.

"In Design and Technology, Sarah was placed seventh in the State.

"Not to be outdone, the college's outstanding entertainment student Chris Richardson was named as the Australian Vocational Student of the Year in the entertainment field."
