Higher School Certificate Results 2024

The HSC results were released to schools on 18th December 2024. Congratulations go to each of the 110 students of the 2024 cohort who have achieved outstanding results in the HSC examinations. These fine results are a testimony to the hard work of students and staff and the support of parents in their children’s education.

The school is a comprehensive non-selective school seeking to honour and serve God in all that we do including using academic skills and gifts. The publication of these results is an opportunity to celebrate the gifts and talents God has given to students at the school, but it is also a chance to remember the contribution of all the Year 12 students culturally, academically, on the sporting field and in serving and sharing of their faith. 


The HSC cohort of 2024 achieved some outstanding results across a wide range of subject areas. There were 139 students who completed HSC courses in 2024 including 28 Year 11 Augustine students who completed a selection of courses as part of the Augustine Acceleration program. 31 HSC courses were offered at Pacific Hills in 2024.
