Grammar’s HSC results in 2023

Updated December 2023

In NESA’s published Higher School Certificate merit lists for 2023, Grammar boys did very well. Fifty-seven boys were listed as All Rounders for achieving top band results in at least 10 units. There were eight First in Course placements achieved by a group of four boys, including one who received a first in all four Classics subjects, and another who received first in both Music 2 and Music Extension. Two other boys were placed first in Italian Extension and Physics respectively. There were forty-one Grammar placements in the Top Achievers list, and this total placed Grammar again second behind only the NSW School of Languages for Top Achievers. In total, boys from the School were featured 159 times in the Distinguished Achievers list.

The School was ranked seventh for overall success rate according to The Sydney Morning Herald league table.

The School’s table of ATAR outcomes over time has now been updated with figures for 2023. This table is based on several sources of data provided to the School by the NSW Education Standards Authority and the scaling statistics made available each year by the Universities Admissions Centre and the NSW Education Standards Authority.
