ALL Saints College in Bathurst has topped the Central West as the highest performing school in this years Higher School Certificate (HSC), new data shows. Individual HSC marks were released to around 77,000 students at 6am this morning, while data for schools was provided a little later. All Saints was the highest ranked school in the Central West and was listed as 104th in the state, the data from the NSW Education Standards Authority shows. It was followed closely by Kinross Wolaroi School (Orange) at 116th, then MacKillop College (Bathurst) at 216th, St Stanislaus College (Bathurst) at 231 and Hennessy Catholic College (Young) at 241. Cowra High School came in next at 256th, Red Bend Catholic College (Forbes) at 271st, St Matthews Catholic School (Mudgee) at 284th and The Scots School (Bathurst) at 291st. The data also revealed the number of students at each school who received a Band 6 score. To compare schools fairly across the Central West, these high scores are expressed as a percentage of total student entries and are called success rates. All Saints also had the highest success rate of all schools in the region with 14.44 per cent, this was followed by Kinross with 13.06 per cent and MacKillop at 7.27. Next was St Stanislaus (6.63 per cent), Hennessy (6.33 per cent), Cowra High (5.97 per cent), Red Bend (5.62 per cent), St Matthews (5.61 per cent), St Johns (5.38 per cent) and Scots (5.19 per cent). Note: Only schools that received at least five per cent have been included. Department of Education executive director Matthew Brown congratulated students in Western NSW on their achievements. “There are certainly plenty of reasons to celebrate,” he said. “Our students should enjoy a strong sense of achievement from these wonderful results. “Parents and teachers can certainly share their pride as they look back on 13 years of schooling and how the students have been rewarded for their efforts. “These results are sealing students personal goals and should confidently take them to the next step of further study or employment.”
