HSC RESULTS
CLASS OF 2024
We honour this significant milestone with immense pride, recognising the Class of 2024 not only for their academic results, but also the dedication and effort that brought them here. “
Headmaster’s Message
Congratulations to the Year 12 Class of 2024 on their remarkable achievements in this year’s HSC. It is a pleasure to celebrate these wonderful students for their outstanding results and, equally importantly, their contribution to the life of the school. A signature of this cohort was the great perseverance and determination in realising their academic potential, together with a deep sense of camaraderie and care towards one another. As such, we honour this significant milestone with immense pride, recognising not only their academic results, but also the dedication and effort that brought them here.
The journey through Year 12 is a transformative one, marked by greater demands and more complex challenges. Students are pushed to think critically and with discernment, grapple with complex ideas, and stretch themselves beyond their previous limits. Witnessing their growth and transformation firsthand has been inspiring. The Class of 2024 has demonstrated a commitment to learning and an enterprising spirit that has exemplified what it means to strive for personal and collective excellence across such a broad spectrum of interests and endeavours.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the expert team of educators I work with; the teachers and support staff who have worked tirelessly to provide the most optimal learning conditions for our students to grow and thrive. To parents, I thank you for choosing Central Coast Grammar and for partnering with us as we have nurtured, encouraged and guided these brilliant young women and men across their time at our school.
This year’s achievements are extraordinary. 21% of students achieved an ATAR of 95+, two students placed in the top ten in NSW for their subject, and we had the highest ever percentage of Distinguished Achievers, recognising students who receive a Band 6 or E4 in one or more subjects.
The depth of talent was further recognised by 32 Major Work nominations across Visual Arts, Music, Dance and Industrial Technology. Ava Chippeck’s Dance Core Performance has been selected for CALLBACK’s annual showcase, one of only 30 works selected across NSW, and Modie Schmidt’s avant-guard film has been selected for inclusion in ARTEXPRESS.
I am also proud to share that over 70 early university offers for diverse fields including engineering, information technology, architecture and health have already been made. These offers reflect not only academic aptitude, but also the initiative and determination that define this group.
On behalf of the entire Grammar community, I wish the Class of 2024 every success in their endeavours and hope that they will take with them a deep love of learning and a commitment to employing their talents and gifts for the betterment of our society.
We look forward to following their progress as they make their way to a wide range of post school destinations and wish them every success for the road that lies ahead.

From the Head of Senior College
These results represent much more than academic achievement. They highlight our students’ drive, enthusiasm, and perseverance in striving for their personal best across all areas of school life.
This year’s cohort has embraced feedback from teachers and peers, sought support when needed, collaborated effectively, and prioritised daily connections with one another. Their focus on wellbeing, balancing their studies, and achieving their potential has truly paid off.
