2023 HSC Results

14 Dec 2023

Well done Class of 2023.

We are incredibly proud of the entire cohort and all that you have achieved. The final results of the HSC are outstanding with some stellar individual outcomes across a broad range of subject areas. But more than that, we are proud of who you are and all that you will become. In your time at NGS we have seen well-rounded, thoughtful, compassionate and outward-looking young people who will be outstanding contributors to the world in the years to come. These ATARs are the culmination of 13 years of school education. You have worked hard individually, and these results also reflect the collaboration of parents, teachers and peers. My grateful thanks for all that you’ve contributed to the life and culture of this community throughout the time that you have been at Newcastle Grammar School. - Mr Macoustra, Head of School

More than 40% of Newcastle Grammar School students received an ATAR of 90 or above!

Congratulations to School Captain, Alexander Macdougall, who achieved an outstanding ATAR of 99.35. Five NGS students made the All Rounders list, which means they achieved 90% or higher in at least ten course units – Ruby Bush, Ruby Macdonald, Alexander Macdougall, Katherine Wang and Jasmine Withford.

Three students were among the top 20 in NSW in their subject areas; Eve Ashmore in Design and Technology, Ruby Macdonald in Modern History and Alexander Macdougall in Engineering Studies.

Based on these results, Newcastle Grammar School is ranked 52nd in NSW, and many students received early entry offers to universities and colleges in NSW, Australia and Internationally.
