PATHWAYS
Graduating Class of 2021
Congratulations to the Class of 2021 Message from The Head Of School On behalf of the school community, I congratulate all Class of 2021 students on their excellent HSC and IB examination results. The pathways and opportunities our students have cultivated for themselves are to be celebrated. Throughout the twists and adventures of their school years, and particularly the two senior years affected by Covid restrictions, the class of 2021 maintained their focus, sense of determination and stayed true to their beliefs and values. Along with the unswerving support of their teachers, the class of 2021 produced strong academic outcomes and many personal bests. AISHK is a leading international school providing a balanced education for students from Reception to Year 12. Senior Secondary students enjoy the option to graduate with either the New South Wales Higher School Certificate (NSW HSC) or the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP). Both qualifications create seamless pathways to universities and tertiary institutions around the world. Each year, results in public examinations continue to successfully provide AISHK graduates with a wide range of study and career opportunities. We are very pleased to acknowledge the work and diversity of successes achieved, against all odds, by the graduating class of 2021. I wish you every success in the coming chapter of your lives.

celebrating the AISHK SCHOLARS of 2021 The AISHK Scholars Assembly, held at the beginning of each academic year, acknowledges the graduates of the previous year who achieved outstanding results in their HSC and IB exams. The award of ‘Scholar’ is given for overall academic excellence in final HSC or IB exams, as evidenced by ATAR score and grades at the highest level in individual subjects. Additionally, the top-scoring HSC and IB students are awarded the prestigious ‘Tom Corkhill Trophy’, named in honour of former AISFL Chairman, Mr Tom Corkhill. Although unable to hold the Scholars Assembly on campus this year, it is fitting that we celebrate the achievements of our 2021 Scholars. They have shown us emphatically that great success is possible in the face of adversity. We are delighted to share with the school community this video presentation, showcasing the 2021 Scholars.
