2021 Academic Results

The Ravenswood Class of 2021 performed exceptionally in both the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and International Baccalaureate (IB). Their results are a tribute to the students’ tenacity, resilience and courage during one of the most disrupted final years of schooling in recent memory.

They are also a credit to our immensely dedicated teaching staff, who surpassed themselves in providing the best possible academic support, despite prolonged restrictions and almost four months in lockdown. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the parents of our Year 12 students for their positive partnership with our School over the course of their daughters’ education.
