Goulburn's Trinity Catholic College students happy with HSC results

Liam Martin, Ewan Mcvicar and Elijah Gilchrist are already a part of the four man band Bordeaux, so it came as no surprise when they made the distinguished achievement list for music.

The fourth member Mark Guieb received a high band 5 which he was also very proud of.

"We all did surprisingly well, especially my band members," Mark said.

"I think it really flabbergasted our teacher as our class was just really laid back when it came to music theory.

"Most teachers would say that theory is a far more important component than practical, but we mainly focused on practicals.

"I really think there is an importance to actually developing your own style alongside doing the gruelling study of theory.

"Our class is living testament of that."

Apart from continuing to produce music with Bordeaux, Ewan is now aspiring to be a journalist, while Elijah is studying law this year at the University of Canberra.

Like Liam, Mark is still trying to figure out what he wants to do in the future.

"I've talked to Liam about what he wants to do and he told me he would like to wait until he figures out what he wants to do," Mark said.

"As for me, I'm taking this time to work on myself and figure out what I really want to do.

"It's a tough process, but I think it's a really crucial step everyone should take before heading out into the wide world."

Fellow year 12 student Katelyn Mateta had her artwork selected for the prestigious 2022 Art Express Exhibition.

Overall, Trinity Catholic College principal Gaye McManus was pleased with how the school went, especially given the fact that it was through COVID times.

"Congratulations to all students who achieved good results in their recent HSC," Ms McManus said.

"Despite the challenging circumstances of the previous two years, every student will be able to pursue their chosen pathway whether through university, TAFE, full-time work or an apprenticeship.

"Even before the release of today's results, our 2021 cohort were already well on the way to future success with a number of students receiving early entry to university or job offers last year.
