HSC – EXCEPTIONAL COURSE RESULTS
This year’s merits came from a wide range of courses, demonstrating the breadth of study and academic excellence that exists within Cranbrook. The table below shows Cranbrook’s percentage in the top performance band (band 6) versus the state.
NESA SHOWCASES & EXHIBITIONS
Our students’ performance across Design Technology, Drama, English Extension 2, Industrial Technology Timber and Music are to be highly commended once more this year with a tremendous number of student nominations for the highly esteemed and competitive NESA Showcases and Exhibitions.

Beyond these academic accomplishments, we are inspired by the character, contribution and leadership shown by our Class of 2025. They have contributed to our vibrant community through service initiatives, sporting endeavours, creative pursuits and helping foster such a positive culture.
Cranbrook is proud to offer both the IB Diploma and HSC pathways. Please note, however, that this adversely affects the School’s ranking in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, as this ladder does not capture the achievements of students in the IB Diploma and, therefore, does not accurately reflect the combined achievements of our cohort.
