Excellent to be able to celebrate with and congratulate the 2024 HSC High Achieving students at the annual Dux Ceremony. Students in the current Year 12 and 10 also hear from these students who participate on a panel about the structures and habits that lead to their respective successes.
Congratulations to Joshua Richards, our 2024 Dux with his 93.45 ATAR, and being recognised as a NSW HSC Distinguished Achiever in Software Design and Development along with Ugochi Duru being recognised as a Distinguished Achiever in Music 1 and nomination for HSC Music ENCORE Showcase, Amelia Furneyvall – Community and Family Studies, Ethan Hawk – Industrial Technology, Sumaya Joyia – Ancient History and Society and Culture, Nikhat Rishad – Food Technology, Siddarth Sajith – Industrial Technology and Thomas Wilson – Mathematics Standard 2.
I would also like to make mention of and congratulate the 8 Students selected for Industrial Technology HSC NESA SHAPE Exhibition: Leviticus Atileo, Francis Baniqued, Ethan Hawke, Lennix Lafu, Ibrahim Muhmmad, Elijah Nisa-Blake, Braithe Roberts and Siddharth Sajith. This continuing a tradition of great success for Plumpton with these incredible achievements.
As a cohort you achieved extraordinary success with 130 students completing the HSC and having 165 University Early Entry Offers for 90 students seeking to attend university to a multitude of different Universities including Sydney, UNSW, UTS, Macquarie, New England, Wollongong, WSU and more.
These student results show that anything is possible with hard, smart work and rigor in collaboration with peers and teachers. In addition, it shows that excellence can be achieved in Western Sydney Comprehensive Public high schools.
No one could ask for more than you have achieved, you need to be proud of your accomplishments, as this type of mindset will place you well as you continue study and ultimately in the professions you pursue.
I want to impart this thought that is extremely relevant and essential in this modern world for success, and you experienced this during your time in year 11 and 12 at Plumpton High School - “No matter where or when, always bring your ‘A’ game, because you never know when it will open doors for you”. – Simon Sinek.
