We are immensely proud of the dedication, perseverance and growth shown by our students as they reached their personal best. Behind these achievements is the steady guidance and support of teachers and school leaders who have walked alongside them throughout their thirteen-year journey.  

There is much to celebrate across our CSBB schools, and we look forward to seeing our students continue to grow and thrive in the next chapter of their lives.

Celebrating Creativity and Commitment: 2025 HSC Major Works   

As part of the 2025 NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC), several elective courses feature a practical component that allows students to express their skills, passions, and creativity. These components, which vary by subject, may include major works, performances, portfolios, projects, or other submitted works that students develop over the course of many months.  
  
Across all subjects, students have showcased outstanding skill and imagination. In Visual Arts, students presented thought-provoking and beautifully executed bodies of work that explored a wide range of ideas and themes. Design and Technology students impressed with their innovative prototypes and problem-solving abilities, while Drama students delivered compelling and heartfelt performances that demonstrated confidence and emotional depth. Our Music students shared expressive performances and original compositions that highlighted both creativity and technical skill, and Industrial Technology students displayed exceptional craftsmanship through their practical and design-based projects.  
  
We commend all Year 12 students who have completed practical components for their dedication, innovation, and commitment. Your work stands as a testament to what can be achieved through passion, perseverance, and the support of a strong learning community.  
 
We had a number of students recognised for outstanding performance and major works across Catholic Schools Broken Bay.

There is much to celebrate across our CSBB schools, and we look forward to seeing our students continue to grow and thrive in the next chapter of their lives.
