Outstanding Success

The Class of 2021 has achieved
phenomenal success and has much

to be proud of well before the
release of official HSC results.

Holy Cross College prides itself
on offering a holistic education
which provides opportunities for all
students, regardless of their post-
school pathway. These pathways
include university pathways which
provide students with an Australian
Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) and
non-ATAR pathways which can help
students work towards their post-
school pathway whilst completing their
HSC.

In addition we have a multitude of Pablo Montekio Brunet Michael Geddes Samuel Pheeny Dylan Bentancur
special programs which allow students
to find and explore passions. For Bachelor of Commerce / Bachelor of Marketing & Media Bachelor of Advanced Science Bachelor of
example the College Cadet Unit has Bachelor of Laws (Pharmaceutical Sciences) Marketing and Media
inspired students to apply for the
Royal Military College of Duntroon in
addition to our exceptional STEM and
Engineering Program that has inspired
students into the jobs of the future via
Engineering and Technology degrees.

The Class of 2021 is to be

commended on their achievements

to date in what have been very

challenging circumstances. In

particular they are to be commended

for the extraordinary number of

students who applied and gained pre-

acceptance into university courses

(87%), including 10 students who

received pre-acceptance for courses

with a required ATAR of above 90. It

is important to note that early offers

are made not because of chance, but

because of commendable leadership,

academic achievements and / or

school ratings of their aptitudes Stefano Cincotta - Lachlan Dick Minjun Jo Ryan Swain

and abilities. This is an outstanding Bachelor of Policing Bachelor of Laws / - Bachelor of Design in Product Bachelor of Clinical Science
(Leadership Program) / Bachelor of International Design Bachelor of Creative
achievement for our students and Bachelor of Applied Leadership Intelligence and Innovation
teachers. As a result of their hard work, Studies
diligence and ability to manage adversity and Critical Thinking

the young men are the heroes of their

own story.

Success looks different for every student and data and statistics pale
in comparison to the importance of ensuring student success is at
the forefront of everything we do. It is for this reason that the College
continues to develop options for students to pursue a range of career
possibilities through the provision of various programs. For example,
the College offers a fast growing school-based apprenticeship
program and access to courses such as Construction (Carpentry
Specialisation) which provides the same competencies as the first
year of a carpentry apprenticeship.

Special mention to Mr Baird (Careers Counsellor) and Ms Jreige (Year
12 Coordinator) who have guided the next generation towards the
start of their next chapter of life after school.

To highlight just a few of the outstanding offers we would like to Nathan Rodda Luke Dunston Harrison Papadimitriou
congratulate the following 11 students in particular. These students
have been accepted into ‘blue-chip’ courses that are ultra-competitive. Bachelor of Commerce / Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Actuarial Studies
Bachelor of Laws Bachelor of Psychology

The College is very much looking forward to the HSC results published in January. High standards are very important and
integral to the professional working relationships between teachers, students and parents. We all have one thing in common

- we want the best for the young men that wear the Holy Cross College uniform each day.
