Two <strong>Scots</strong> boys were placed third and eighth in the State for Chemistry.<br />
In Drama one student was selected for inclusion in OnSTAGE, the annual exhibition of outstanding HSC Drama Projects,<br />
and in Design and Technology two boys were nominated for Design Tech <strong>2011</strong>. In Visual Arts, six boys were nominated for<br />
ARTEXPRESS with three of those boys’ works being selected.<br />
95% of the tracked students were at or above the Value-Added Benchmark. <strong>The</strong> Value-Added Benchmark is the expected<br />
improvement in achievement for students between the School Certificate and the Higher School Certificate. This was<br />
the equal highest figure recorded in the past four years. Academic growth was strong across the ability range and most<br />
consistent towards the higher end of that range. Sixty-one students exceeded the benchmark by a significant margin while<br />
none were significantly below it.<br />
