    We’re incredibly proud of our students who have received 177 early entry offers to university (so far)! These offers recognise them as capable, motivated learners who are well-prepared for university-level study. They’ve shown not only strong academic potential, but also leadership, resilience, and diverse strengths that reflect their readiness for the next chapter. This achievement also highlights our school’s commitment to guiding students toward success, providing a supportive learning environment where they’re encouraged to excel academically and grow personally. Congratulations to all our future university students - your hard work and determination have truly paid off!
