“Three students achieved over 600 points, and there’s up to 20 who got over 500 points. 

“Across the board all our students did very well. They are all equipped to follow their chosen career and excel in various fields, this is only their first step,” Ms Murphy said.

The principal went on to thank teachers and parents who have supported both the students and the school over the last five to six years.
