HSC RESULTS 2019
SCHOLARSHIP
Principal’s Report
It’s an extraordinary achievement to move 195
places on the Sydney Morning Herald HSC rankings
in one year. Congratulations to the Class of 2019 on their exceptional
HSC results. Their hard work and dedication towards
their academic studies have been rewarded and we are
enormously proud to be presenting our HSC results
highlights package for 2019.
Northholm Grammar School is committed to ensuring
that our learning culture is purposeful both inside and outside of the classroom.
A culture that is intentional in promoting learning is one that fosters continuous
improvement for students and teachers. Our purpose is to create a learning
culture where every student has a willingness and ability to learn, to lead and to
serve so they can enjoy a life that is worthwhile and well-lived.
Learning through scholarship is one of our core values under ‘The Strategic Intent
of Northholm Grammar School’. It is represented by the open book on our crest
which defines our school as one that challenges each student scholastically by
encouraging high academic standards and intellectual rigour, providing inspiring
teaching committed to personalised learning, and designing and implementing
our curriculum purposefully. We understand that there is far more to a strong
education than just academic results, however we know that learning through
scholarship coupled with ‘caring for others and self’, ‘living a faithful life’ and
‘contributing to the community’ is paramount in the holistic development of every
young man and woman.
As a community, we are encouraged by our progress to move from a good School
to a great one. A desire for excellence in all Academic, Co-Curricular, Sport and
Service Learning programs is characterised by ‘The Northholm Way’ centred on
allowing students to grow as individuals and find their passions so they can lead a
well-rounded life and contribute to a thriving society. Our intention is to develop
confident and compassionate students, who are effective contributors to society,
successful learners and responsible citizens.
Such performances would not be possible without the pastoral attentiveness, hard
work and support from our staff, parents and the community. Congratulations
and thank you to our young men and women for embracing the challenges of
their final year of studies and developing a love of learning that will allow them
to harness the intellectual habits so they can become independent and confident
citizens. It is our intention that scholarship is what our students will take from
School and leadership is what they will give to the world. We wish the 2019 Year
Twelve cohort every success in their future endeavours.

Northholm Grammar School Captain Recognised For Outstanding Community Service And Encore HSC NominationMitchell Old (Year Twelve) our School Captain was presented with the John Lincoln Youth Community Service Award by the Governor of NSW, Her Excellency The Honourable Margaret Beazley AO QC, at NSW Government House. The John Lincoln Youth Community Service Award was instituted to recognise Senior NSW secondary school students who have made outstanding contributions that benefit their communities. These awards define and identify role models at all levels within our communities and inspire us all to become more fully engaged citizens. Mitchell also received an ENCORE HSC Nomination and was awarded 50/50 in Music Extension I. Gold Duke Of Edinburgh Recipients On Friday 13 September, Nathan Ho and Matthew Gadd had the honour of being presented with their Gold Award badge and certificate at a special ceremony at the Town Hall to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award in Australia. This was a very prestigious occasion, attended by NSW dignitaries, special guests and the Premier of NSW. As part of the celebration, the Awards were presented by His Royal Highness The Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex KG GCVO. Both students had the unique opportunity to talk to The Earl of Wessex, as well as journalist Jeff McMullen, who was the appointed mentor to the table at which our students were seated. This was such a wonderful experience for Nathan and Matthew to be present at this important milestone in an amazing program.
