The Higher School Certificate results for 2013 have arrived and the students of Tumbarumba High School have excelled, with four different students making the NSW Distinguished Achievers List by achieving Band 6 results in their 2 Unit courses. This is the first time we have had four students achieve this honour since the new Higher School Certificate was introduced in 1999. Rayden Brice, Samuel Hibbard, James Grady and Kerryn Wake all achieved this distinction in a historic year of results for our school, the students and their teachers. In fact, it is the first Band 6 results our students have achieved in 2 Unit courses since 2007.
This year our Higher School Certificate students also achieved an amazing 22 Band 5 results compared to 8 in 2012. This year we have also seen 7 courses achieve above state average results compared to just 3 in 2012.
I am delighted to be able to announce that the DUX of Tumbarumba High School for 2013 is Kerryn Wake who achieved a raw ATAR of 83.95. Another three students also achieved ATAR's in the 70's capping off an outstanding set of results for all of our students.
The results our Higher School Certificate Students have achieved this year is a reflection of their dedication and persistence to their studies. They have proven to be tremendous role models and are incredibly deserving of the results they have achieved both as individuals and as a group.
This is a genuine sign of the progress our school and its students have made over the past few years. Congratulations to all students, parents and teachers who were responsible for these fantastic results.
