Dee Wallace, Principal at Parkside Community College, said:
“We are absolutely delighted with the performance of our Year 11 students at Parkside this year. These outstanding results are evidence of the sheer resilience and determination of this cohort despite the many challenges they faced throughout the pandemic. I would personally like to congratulate them on all their achievements and have no doubt they will go on to do great things.
“I would also like to thank all parents and carers for their unwavering support, as well as staff across the school who work tirelessly to ensure our students have the greatest chance of success.”
