A total of 14 local Year 12 students were crowned as Distinguished Achievers today following the release of the 2018 HSC study results.

The ‘Distinguished Achievers Award’ recognises those who score in the highest band (between 90 and 100 marks) in at least one subject.

Singleton High School’s terrific trio Julia Kowald, Liam McManus and Sarah Giggins each received the distinguished nod, not just once; but three times respectively.

And such was Alex Vaughan’s dedication to Industrial Technology that the St Catherine’s Catholic College student was ranked fifth in the state.
