The performance of the Year 10 students in the School Certificate exams was pleasing. When compared to performances
across the State, Scots students achieved more than twice as many Band 6 performances in Mathematics. In Science,
Australian History and Australian Geography, Scots students achieved nearly twice as many Band 6 performances compared
to performances across the State.
Year 10 students also participated in the School Certificate Computing Skills Test. While many of the students have not
undertaken elective courses in Information Technology across Years 9 and 10, computing skills were embedded within all
School Certificate courses. The results for this test are not reported using Bands. 77% of Scots students placed in the highest
category (compared with 52.47% of the rest of the State).
