Anne Hastings, Principal of Emanuel School commented: ‘This has been another exceptional year for our HSC students and the School. The results also put us in the top 10 independent schools and the top 10 non-selective schools.
I wholeheartedly congratulate our students who have learnt so effectively and worked so hard to achieve these outstanding results. I also highly commend our talented and dedicated teachers who have supported our HSC students’ learning comprehensively over the years. We look forward to 2015 and the opening of our new building, which can only complement to the School’s amazing success.’
There is too much emphasis on these scores it’s not healthy at this age .Ought be Pass or Fail .Its a destructive not creative competition. .As for University the costs are too high they favour inherited wealth.The socioeconomic gap is too great even in wealthy Australia.Also discipline is too slack and adolescents are too indulged . The wreckage in the Rural Areas from Drugs Reveals a huge need to return to evolved religions and Utilitarian ways .
