While two years of disruptions caused by COVID-19 made preparation a challenge, the students managed to persevere with their studies to achieve desirable results.
Peter Woodhead, who managed to secure an ATAR of 94.35, said his goals were met despite the impact of the pandemic.
"I was particularly happy with my result in English, as I pushed myself quite hard to secure a good mark," Peter said.
"My best mark was in software design and development, I was delighted to achieve a band 6 there, as I'm looking to study a double degree in advanced computing [research and development] and mathematical sciences at the Australian National University."
Jacob George was also pretty satisfied with his results, with his legal studies mark a particular standout.
"I'm really happy to have achieved a great mark in legal studies, as it was my favourite subject and it'll relate the most to my real life aspirations," Jacob said.
"I too plan to study at ANU, where I'll undertake a double degree in international relations and law, and I'm ideally looking to venture into human rights law."
Nick Parnell was also impressed with his legal studies mark, but has his heart set more of a career in economics.
"I enjoyed mathematics and humanitarian subjects, so something in finance and economics seems like a good fit for me," he said.
"But I won't be going to university right away, as I want to work and save some money."
St Stanislaus College principal Lindsay Luck said the school's "proud of the student's impressive HSC results, as well as those who have moved into employment and apprenticeships."
