Dear Reddam House Community, I’m sure you will join me in congratulating the HSC Class of 2023 and their teachers for their incredible results. Coming 5th in the State is a testimony to the dedication of our students and their families and the professionalism and commitment of our teachers. It was a real team effort of which I could not be more proud. The collaboration and collective effort to motivate each other to achieve their personal best has filled me with immense pride in this cohort. They have built on lessons from previous cohorts and dedicated themselves to improving and having each individual within the group work to their maximum capacity. They have built each other up, and their pride in their achievements is heartwarming. The Year 12 Class of 2023, you deserve your banner, well done. Dave Pitcairn
