Two Sydney Catholic Schools in the Sutherland Shire are increasing the number of teachers with specialised knowledge and expertise to ensure students are well equipped for HSC success. 

As Our Lady of Mercy Catholic College Burraneer (Girls) and De La Salle Catholic College Caringbah (Boys) expand to include Year 11 in 2024, exciting new opportunities and career pathways are being introduced.

Joining the school in 2024 will be HSC markers and supervisors, exam authors and contributors, and experienced HSC teachers. 

These new teachers bring with them a wealth of HSC knowledge and proven track records of fostering student success in the senior years.

Providing this high level of bespoke support, teachers will act as mentors and drive an academic focus supported by extensive levels of coaching and mentoring.

An HSC Enrichment Program will further drive personalised attention. The program encompasses three integrated modes of student support including individual academic mentoring, wellbeing catch ups and dedicated social opportunities.

This places both colleges in an outstanding position to provide the best support to HSC students, making the final two years of secondary school personally rewarding and an enriching experience. 

Sydney Catholic Schools’ Director of System Performance, Kevin Carragher, is confident that students will be provided the support they need to maximise their potential during the pivotal HSC years.

“We are providing students with the opportunity to excel academically and cultivate essential life skills as they journey into adulthood.

“Students will feel empowered to achieve their individual goals regardless of their academic ambitions and be assisted every step of the way as they work towards making their dreams a reality,” Mr Kevin Carragher said.
