The school achieved some of the strongest growth in top bands results across all NSW secondary schools.

The achievement was recognised by Executive Director of School Performance, Tim McCallum, who praised the school for its “stunning rise in Average HSC Course Mark” and by the Director of Educational Leadership, Kylee Owens, who reflected on the school’s outstanding results.

“Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Campus achieved some of the strongest improvement in Top 2 Bands and Top 3 Bands HSC results across all NSW secondary schools,” she said.

“This is the result of outstanding leadership, deeply committed teachers and students who value their learning opportunities – not to mention a massive dose of grit, steel and determination.”

Deputy Secretary of Education Cathy Brennan visited the campus to meet with the school’s leadership team and congratulate them on their achievements.

“Clearly, all the right ingredients are in place so that every student is supported, connected, engaged and experiencing success each day – no easy achievement,” she said.

Principal Rebecca Cooper said the school’s success was built on the hard work, dedication, and resilience of its students and teachers.

“We have worked hard to drive school improvement as a collective over the last five years,” she said.

“Last year’s HSC results were amazing and are a testament to how hard we have all worked to focus on growth and student success.”

She said the school’s holistic approach to education, combined with the hard work and resilience of the students and teachers, has culminated in the school’s outstanding achievement.

The Woy Woy Campus’s wrap-around support teams in Aboriginal Learning, Student Services, COVID Tutors, Wellbeing and learning support have also played a vital role in helping each child in need.
