Over the past decade, St Augustine’s College HSC rank has improved by almost 200 places. As a comprehensive boys’ school, the College has developed a culture of achievement, our graduates have been able to realise their personal best as a result of hard work, feedback and a dedication to improvement. On behalf of the graduating class, I would like to acknowledge the work of the teaching staff, Years 5-12; each year our Augustinian graduates have been part of a culture of improvement fostered by the staff.

Congratulations to Dux of the College, David Rance, for achieving an ATAR of 99.20, and Proxime Accessit, Kevin Olson, with an ATAR of 99.05. As a community we are very proud of these young men and their families can take confidence that their sons can, and have, achieved their potential.

A highlight of this year’s results is seen in the diversity of success. Outstanding accomplishments in English, Mathematics, Science, Religion, Humanities and the Creative Arts continues to give us confidence that all boys can achieve significant success no matter what their academic pathway.

Our Student Leaders were outstanding role models for those who will follow in their footsteps. The task of the formation of the whole person, which lies at the heart of an Augustinian education, was strongly reflected in the experiences of the Class of 2019. Our Student Leaders showcased their ability to commit themselves academically, enjoy their chosen sport/co-curricular and lead our younger students through College events including the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals, Assemblies, Masses, Open Day, charity work and service.

At St Augustine’s College, all students are given the opportunity to achieve their potential and become contributing members of society in a dignified and meaningful way. Success comes in countless forms and we are especially pleased that many of our boys achieved beyond original hopes and expectations. Their success has been achieved through their application, dedication and hard work, with the significant support of their family.

We are proud of the achievements of the Class of 2019 and know they will approach their future studies with the confidence gained from their experience at St Augustine’s College. As Augustinian Graduates, they will be exceptional ambassadors for our school as they follow their dreams and aspirations.

We are one of the fastest improving academic schools in NSW over the past ten years

Academic success has been achieved through a combination of student application, dedication and hard work, significant support of families and highly qualified, dedicated and expert teaching staff.
