Grammar’s HSC results in 2025
Updated December 2025
In NESA’s published Higher School Certificate merit lists for 2025, Grammar boys were again prominently featured. Seventy-six boys were listed as All Rounders for achieving top band results in at least 10 units. There were seven First in Course placements achieved by a group of five boys, including a pair of boys who were equal first in Geography and one boy who was first in both German Continuers and Latin Continuers. Other first place results were in Classical Greek Continuers, Classical Greek Extension, and French Extension. There were thirty-seven Grammar placements in the Top Achievers list, and this total placed Grammar second among all schools for Top Achievers. In total, boys from the School were featured 175 times in the Distinguished Achievers list.
The School was again ranked third for overall success rate according to The Sydney Morning Herald league table and was again the highest placed independent school.
The School’s table of ATAR outcomes over time has now been updated with figures for 2025. This table is based on several sources of data provided to the School by the NSW Education Standards Authority and the Universities Admissions Centre.
