It is a tradition at Mount Carmel to formally acknowledge our High Achieving HSC students from the previous year. High Achievers are defined as the students that have achieved an ATAR over 90. We believe they offer inspiration to us all and tell us much about what hard work, commitment and dedication can bring, so it is important that we recognise the outcome of their endeavours. At the High Achievers Assembly we congratulated the 16 students from the 2021 HSC cohort who attained an ATAR over 90. These students have achieved outstanding results which have contributed to them attaining an ATAR that has allowed them entry into their choice of university degree. The 2021 Dux of the College was also awarded. The Dux of the College is the student who has achieved the highest ATAR in the cohort. The Dux of the College for 2021 is Charmaine Marquinez. Congratulations to all of the 2021 High Achievers.

The High Achievers were also invited to a Q&A session with the 2022 HSC cohort to share their insights and experiences from the HSC year. Topics such as study habits, motivation, future planning and resilience were discussed. The High Achievers were able to provide individual perspectives that reiterated that each Year 12 student’s HSC journey is their own but that they did need each other, their teachers, friends and family to support them in achieving their goals.
