Year 12 Results: celebrating all pathways to success
Top 100 Schools? Think Again!
The ‘League Tables’ and ‘Lists of Top Schools’, produced by Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Telegraph, rank NSW schools using results from HSC students. These do not include results from the International Diploma Programme.
An increasing number of students are choosing to take the globally recognised International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. This means that high achievers from these schools are not included in the media’s Top 100 Schools ranking.
IB students excel with rigorous academics and a global perspective. Their contributions to school excellence deserve recognition. We’re shining a light on International Baccalaureate students and celebrating all pathways to success. Join us in honouring all Year 12 students on their achievements.
On 17 December, 3,072 students in Australia, 823 students in New Zealand, together with 21,567 students worldwide will receive their Diploma Programme (DP) and Career-related Programme (CP) results from the November 2024 examination session. This marks a 4.6% increase in the number of students receiving DP and CP results from last year. In the May 2024 examination session, a further 192,867 students completed the DP and CP, marking a 7.2% increase in the number of students receiving DP and CP results.
With a global average DP score for the May 2024 session of 30.32 points, today’s IB graduates join a community of more than 2.5 million alumni and lifelong learners across 160 countries worldwide.
