Class of 2022 HSC

Please join us in congratulating the Class of 2022 for their excellent HSC results, which included:
• Three HSC All Rounders
• One HSC Top Achiever
• Two Showcase nominations (Music Encore)
• 97 Band 6 results
• 36 students listed as Distinguished Achievers

Hills Grammar always looks at a wider set of measures than the “Top 100” when it comes to defining our success (Top 100 is based on the percentage of Band 6). It is therefore particularly pleasing to see Hills Grammar ranked 51 this year – jumping to our highest ranking – with a most impressive 97 Band 6 results (25% of all attempts).

The Class of 2022 achieved 256 results in the Bands 5 and 6 range (80% and above), representing 68% of all HSC attempts. Further, more than 50% of the Class of 2022 completed at least one challenging extension course as part of their pattern of study. That is a sure sign of ambition and opportunity at Hills Grammar, and when combined with the high proportion of 80+ marks, makes a difference to ATAR for our students. The projected median ATAR of 84 continues strong performance in this area over the last seven years. Based on the PSAM Interim Report.
