Tara’s Class of 2018 enjoys HSC success

The Tara Anglican School for Girls principal, Susan Middlebrook, congratulated the Class of 2018 and their teachers for their sensational HSC results.

“This year’s results are some of our best and are a testament to the hard work of our students, their parents and staff,” Mrs Middlebrook said.

“As measured by the Sydney Morning Herald’s Top 100 Schools report, this year Tara Anglican School for Girls is ranked at number 48 on the list.

“As a non-selective school, we are extremely pleased with the rise in Band 6 results with 107, up from 88 in 2017.

“Each girl’s results is a direct reflection of her own commitment, dedication and focus.

“Two students gained places as HSC All Round Achievers (with 10 units or more with Band 6 or equivalent).

“They included deputy Head Girl, Grace Wong, who was Dux of the School and achieved an ATAR of 99.90, and Head Girl, Zoe Shim, who achieved 99.80 in her ATAR.

“This year, two Tara students achieved an ATAR of 99 or above, 22 per cent of the cohort achieved an ATAR of 95 or above, and 28% attained an ATAR of 90 or above.

“Carissa Percival’s Design and Technology project was nominated for the SHAPE Showcase while Grace Wong was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for her History Extension Essay by the History Teachers’ Association of NSW.

“Minerva Khodabande has been nominated for her music performance for ENCORE, and Arah Ko’s exemplary body of artwork will be included in the prestigious ARTEXPRESS exhibition.

“While Tara students regularly receive nominations for their work, it remains special every time.

“We are so impressed with who each Tara girl has become in addition to what the HSC results demonstrate.”
