Callum Duncan-Keen, a college academic prefect, finished his high school career with an ATAR of 99.95, the highest possible result.
He did so after recording band 6 results in 10 units of study, and being ranked seventh in the state for economics, eighth for mathematics extension one, and 15th for chemistry.

Callum set the bar very high, but there were several students not far behind him.
Two other students received ATARs above 99.00, with Austin Markwick achieving 99.80 and Tou Tou Tse not far behind with 99.35.
Austin also recorded band 6 results in 10 units, while Tou Tou had band 6s in nine units.
Other students to achieve high ATARs were Jonah Siede (98.00), Samuel Lloyd (97.00), George Butler (95.65), Robert Jeffries (94.30), Simi Atluri (94.95), Sophie Cox (92.70), Jesse Osman-Biggins (92.75), Thomas Siede (93.10), Morgan Watts (92.75), and Jessica Settree (90.65).
Their results, along with those of others in their cohort, made for another year of great success for SASC, which entered its foundation year in 2019 after the merger of The Scots School and All Saints College.
In 2019, the college achieved band 6 in 4.43 per cent of HSC entries.
The percentage rose to 10.37 per cent in 2020, and then to 15.5 per cent in 2021 after the efforts of students.
Head of Senior School Andrew Weeding could not be prouder of his students.
"The Class of 2021 have shown resilience and tenacity to overcome the challenges that have been presented throughout the year to achieve outstanding HSC results," he said.
"Embracing the importance of social learning, they worked together as a tight knit group to support and encourage each other to achieve their goals.
"The staff at Scots All Saints College mentored the students superbly. Through their professional and dedicated approach, they worked tirelessly to provide the support required for the students to excel in the way they have, especially during times of remote learning.
"While the Year 12 teachers, academic mentors and team leaders had a direct influence on these results, the input from all staff can't be underestimated as good HSC results are based on the foundation the students receive throughout their education journey."
He also thanked parents and carers for trusting SASC to educate their students in preparation for the HSC.
