We warmly congratulate the Class of 2022 on their outstanding performance in the Higher School Certificate (HSC).

Ravenswood has a long history of academic excellence and our 131 HSC students, together with our 30 International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma students, have continued this tradition, applying themselves with great commitment, agility and focus, while navigating their final three years of school through a global pandemic.

As an IB World School, 30 of our Year 12 students will not know the results of their IB examinations and coursework until 3 January 2023. Today’s release of the HSC results forms only part of the picture of Ravenswood’s 2022 Year 12 results.
