Welcome back to an exciting 2021 school year at Beverly Hills Girls High School. In particular, I would like to welcome our new Year 7 students and their families. The staff are thrilled that you have entrusted their education to us. We will make every effort to help your daughter achieve academically and socially to be somebody. It is our goal to create an enriched learning environment that engages each student. Beverly Hills Girls High School has an excellent teaching staff with a wealth of knowledge. We also have outstanding support staff who work in different capacities to support your daughter's learning.
Our HSC results for 2020 were outstanding! Our girls achieved 1st, 2nd and 4th in the state for Arabic Extension and 1st and 2nd in the state for Filipino Continuers. The girls achieved 28 Band 6 and 168 Band 5 within their subjects. Tertiary destinations are always of interest and we have been in contact with most of our students and are very happy with their selected course and planned futures. A number are even being further supported with scholarships. We are so very proud of our girls!
We have now received comprehensive data from both the NSW Education Standards Authority, and the Department of Education regarding the performance of our students on the HSC. This provides us with the ability to fully analyse the responses of our students to the HSC examinations. The insights gained allow changes to be made to provide the best opportunities for our HSC students in 2021.
Our school plan 2021-2024 is progressing well. Our vision is that women can do anything and together, we will strive to ensure that our girls will someday ‘Be Somebody’. We are currently working on our strategic improve plan detailing the steps our school will take to improve learning outcomes and the achievement and growth of all students. Our key strategic directions include student growth and attainment, teacher growth and attainment and school growth and attainment. Communication outlining our progress towards the final plan will be communicated through future newsletters.
In 2020 one of our students received the distinguished NSW International Student of the Year. Congratulations to Andrea who will no doubt become a woman of strength in the future.
