MEDIA RELEASE: “Keep calm and carry on”: Catholic Schools NSW wishes the very best to all HSC students

Catholic Schools NSW wishes all NSW students the best as they commence their Higher School Certificate (HSC) exams today. 19,123 Catholic school students from 152 schools will sit the exams.

Catholic Schools NSW Chief Executive Officer, Mr Dallas McInerney, extended his best wishes to all students and commended the hard work of teachers and parents.

“Completing the HSC is a significant achievement; students should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved to date and be confident that their preparation and hard work will see them through to the end of their exams,” said Mr McInerney.

“We pray that year 12 students approach this important period in their schooling life with clarity and courage; in essence, to ‘keep calm and carry on.’ We commend all the hard work teachers and parents have put in to see the students reach this important educational milestone.”

“To every student sitting the HSC, be sure to give your all in every exam – but don’t forget that no matter what happens, there are many pathways to work or further study, and be assured that the HSC does not define you.”

Students will sit the HSC exams across NSW over the next several weeks, with the final written exams concluding on 4 November and results being released from 15 December onwards.

Catholic Schools NSW represents the state’s 594 Catholic schools and their 260,000 students.
