HSC Results 2021

Congratulations to the Class of 2021

Congratulations to the KRB Year 12 Class of 2021 on their outstanding HSC achievements. The girls undertook their HSC studies over Years 11 and 12 during a global pandemic and adapted to different modes of learning with courage and tenacity.

A significant facet of their success is due to their sheer determination to achieve their best. They relied on the explicit feedback from their teachers, they benefited from the unconditional love of their parents and guardians, and they formed genuine and supportive friendships.

As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, KRB ranked 28th in the State. This is our equal best result over the past five years and saw the School as the top performing of Catholic Independent Girls boarding schools in NSW.

Of the Class of 2021, 7 students achieved an ATAR over 99 (7%), 22 students received an ATAR over 95 (23%) and 44 received an ATAR over 90 (47%). 68% of our Year 12 students and 92% of our accelerants achieved at least one Band 6 result (approximately 11% of students achieve at this level across the state). Of our Boarders, 56% achieved an ATAR above 90, and 68% achieved an ATAR above 80.

We saw 12 students in the cohort acknowledged as All Round Achievers. This means the girls achieved the highest band possible in 10 units of study (Band 6/ E4). KRB students appeared 196 times on the NESA Distinguished Achievers List across 30 Courses - demonstrating our diversity of offerings.

As an open entry school, we are delighted that KRB has celebrated outstanding results over the breadth of the curriculum. Band 6/E4 results were achieved in 30 of the 36 courses studied in the School. This reminds us that students can come as they are, work consistently and achieve at their best in a diverse range of courses.

I take this opportunity to thank the Year 12 teachers for their tireless efforts to work with, support and nurture our incredible young women. Each of them delighted in the opportunity to educate this special group of students who had endured so much during their HSC.

Maureen Ryan Principal “Our Class of 2021 has demonstrated through these results not only the fulfilment of their considerable academic potential, but also their intrinsic motivation to excel in a broad range of academic fields. For a non-selective cohort to achieve such a breadth and depth of results is remarkable and reflects their sustained critical engagement with learning throughout their journey at Kincoppal-Rose Bay. These results attest to the extraordinary relationships between students, teachers and the broader KRB community as well as the power of a Sacred Heart Education to inspire young women of the future.”

Trinity Hastie, Director of Teaching and Learning (Acting 2021)

“There is no substitute for hard work and our cohort’s results are testament to this. In spite of the turbulence of the past two years, with some girls away from their families for the entire period, we showed determination and perseverance, supporting each other and putting our heads down. I am so grateful for the time, effort and support of my teachers and am proud to be a part of this cohort.”
