With the increasing number of Cambridge International students around the world and the unprecedented challenges of the past year, achieving such phenomenal results was a true testament to ACG’s dedicated teaching staff, the hard work and enthusiasm of our students, and the ongoing support of our parents.
ACG Parnell College Principal, Damian Watson, believes that the determination and resilience shown by the school’s Senior Cambridge students has established an excellent foundation for further study.
“While strong results open the initial door to tertiary study, the deep knowledge, skills and habits of mind acquired by completing a Cambridge qualification will hold our students in good stead for years to come.”
