Happy Australia Day!

We live in a very challenging time, but I try not to forget that we
also live in one of the most successful and prosperous places in
the history of the world.

Australia is great because of our people and our values. Values
such as freedom, opportunity, camaraderie and mateship
especially in times of hardship. Fighting the pandemic has helped
us to appreciate the importance of these values even more.

COVID has been a challenge, but our great people and our

great values have got us through, and that is how the story

of Australia will continue to be written. Dom

These are the best results the College has achieved since the modern HSC
was introduced in the 1990’s.

The strongest performing subjects were Studies of Religion, Chemistry Phys-
ics, Mathematics Advanced, English Advanced, Music and Engineering Stud-
ies.

I am incredibly proud of the efforts of the students, teachers, and parents,
particularly given how difficult the last two years have been.

With the introduction of the Amadeus Music program this year where every
student in Year 7 and 8 will learn a musical instrument and the re-established
Australian Army Cadet program to develop young men who are leaders, Holy
Cross has much to offer. Now for the top one hundred schools in NSW.
