Year 12 coordinator Ben Shore said at a meeting with student on Thursday the overall feeling was positive.
We didn’t look at the results and see any huge surprises, they worked hard and got what they deserved.

“Speaking to everyone they were happy and they were able to choose what they’ll do next year which is the aim,” he said.
“For those students who were touch-and-go about whether they were going to finish we are really pleased for too. We didn’t look at the results and see any huge surprises, they worked hard and got what they deserved.”
