Why Ravenswood
2019 Academic Results
Add to FavouritesPrincipal Mrs Anne Johnstone warmly congratulates the Class of 2019 students on their outstanding performance in the Higher School Certificate (HSC). Ravenswood has a long history of academic excellence and our 101 HSC students, together with our 24 International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma students, have continued this tradition, applying themselves with dedication, focus and enthusiasm. We are inspired by their efforts and achievements.
The release of the HSC results on Tuesday 17 December and Sydney Morning Herald school rankings form only part of the picture of Ravenswood’s 2019 overall Year 12 performance, as our IB students will not receive their results until January, at which stage we will provide a detailed report on the combined HSC/IB and ATAR results.We are pleased to celebrate and share with you highlights of the achievements of our HSC students, which are a credit to their tremendous efforts.
