Quotes from Minister for Education Eva Lawler
“What an absolutely outstanding group of school leavers we have this year.
“These students who have spent their senior years in times of great uncertainty have not let those challenges beat them; they pushed on with the job of learning.
“I’m confident that we have bright, adaptable and innovative school leavers who will achieve anything they set their minds to.
“For our Year 12 students, as well as their parents, carers, families and teachers – the results are an indication of your hard work, dedication and commitment.”
