A message from Principal Meg Melville: I am delighted to share with you the results of our 2014 Year 12 students. We are extremely proud of the accomplishments of all of our Year 12s in 2014, the group affectionately known as the “half cohort”. In 2014, 96 students chose the Australian Tertiary Entrance Rank (ATAR) Pathway and 15 students chose the Alternative Pathway. Our Year 12s acknowledged the importance of academic commitment from day one of the school year and maintained this momentum until their final examinations. Our academic staff worked extremely hard with the students both in and out of class, as teachers and mentors, to enable the girls to achieve to the very best of their potential. We also acknowledge the support of the Year 12 parents in contributing to these excellent results. I would like to provide you with a snapshot of the accomplishments of our Year 12, 2014 cohort: •All bar one of our Year 12 students achieved the Western Australian Certificate of Education Graduation •Penrhos College ranked 9th in the league tables •Penrhos College was ranked among the top schools in the state in the following Stage 3 Courses: Design (Photography), Drama, English, French, Human Biological Science Mathematics 3AB, Mathematics 3CD, Modern History, Physical Education Studies, Politics and Law •Penrhos College was ranked among the top schools in the state in the following Stage 2 Course: Mathematics 2CD •Four of our students received Certificates of Distinction (awarded to the top 0.5 per cent of candidates based on the WACE course score) in the following courses: English (two students), Modern History (two students) •Five students received Certificates of Commendation (awarded to students who achieve at least 20 ‘A’ grades in WACE course units) •26% of the cohort achieved an ATAR of 95 or above and will be added to the Principals List at our Welcome Back Assembly •The Penrhos College Median ATAR was 88.90 and the State Median ATAR was 79.00 In 2014, as part of our Strategic Directions, we continued to place a strong emphasis on the assessment and moderation of our teaching and learning programs, particularly in Year 12. Our goal was to improve the performance of all of our Year 12 students. In 2015, we will continue to review the delivery of our teaching, learning, assessment and reporting procedures to ensure the best possible outcome for our students across all Year groups.
