2024 HSC Results

In  2024 our  HSC results were reflective of the hardwork and dedication of our students and their teachers. We had 27 students recognised as Distinguished Achievers with 44 Distinguished Achievements in total. 76.3% of our students achieved in the top 3 bands for their courses. Our accelerated students excelled in their courses with most students achieving a Band 6 or Band 5.  

Students in our Extension Courses achieved 7 E4’s and 17 E3’s. The 2024 students achieved 35 Band 6 results across the cohort. 10 students achieved an ATAR of 90 or above with Ishwinder Nijjar receiving the prestigious award of ATAR Dux with a Rank of 97.2, followed by Jeremy Delfino as Second Place Dux and Guntas Sandhu achieving Third Place Dux. The 2024 cohort also saw an impressive 43% increase in students achieving an ATAR rank of 80 and above and  67% of the courses studied achieved on or above state average results.

St Andrews College is committed to a culture of learning growth for every student in every year group. We are focused on ensuring that students receive the best possible feedback to improve their learning, and hope to see even more learning growth for all of the students in 2025.

Canvas Learning Update

As part of the College’s commitment to provide essential feedback for student learning growth and for parents to be able to track their child’s progress in their courses, the College is in its 2nd Year of our transition to Canvas as our Learning platform.

Canvas provides opportunities for students to receive feedback in various ways, not just written but verbal and visual feedback. We still have some courses who are preparing for full Canvas implementation which will be achieved in 2026.

We continue to provide our staff with ongoing professional development in their work in creating a Canvas course that best supports your child’s learning and appreciate your patience as staff continue their learning journey in this transition phase.

Student Information Hub

The College Student Information Hub is now live and has the most current Assessment information for your child. Please be sure to read through the assessment handbooks and make note of the assessment weeks allocated to each subject’s formal assessment tasks. In Year 7 to 10 these tasks are used with ongoing informal assessment to determine your child’s Mid-Semester and End of Year report grade. Please continue to communicate with your child’s class teacher if you have any concerns about your child’s learning progress or assessment.
