Results

Students are at the centre of everything we do at Darwin High School. We celebrate with great pride their achievements in not only academic endeavours but sporting achievements, leadership, VET, creative and performing arts and service to the community. It is this diversity — the achievement of excellence across all disciplines, and for all students — that is the hallmark of our great school.

  • 38 students achieved an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) of 90 or more, placing them in the top 10% of students in Australia.
  • over half of our students (55%) achieved an ATAR of 70 or above, placing them in the top 30 % of students in Australia.
  • Six of the 2018 Top 20 students were from Darwin High School, including the equal top NT ATAR student, Nafi Mazid, who achieved an ATAR of 99.7. 
  • Ten students achieved an A+ in one or more subjects and twenty-seven students achieved an A+ merit in one or more subjects. A+ Merit represents exceptional achievement in the subject and these students are in the top 2 % of their cohort.

Our students abroad

In addition to these excellent academic results, in 2016 our students broadened their understanding of themselves, and the world around them, through many interstate and overseas experiences. Centre for Excellence students visited Singapore and Malaysia and competed in the National Science and Engineering Challenge in New South Wales. Language students gained first hand experiences in China and Japan, and our World Challenge group completed a project and learned valuable team work skills in Kuala Lumpur and the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia.

Local and national events

Closer to home, our students supported community events and commemorations such as ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day, won the secondary debating finals, the NT Literary Award for Youth, the NT Youth Business Awards and outperformed their peers in basketball, swimming, squash, table tennis, cycling and many other pursuits. Our students also hosted the Seniors’ Morning of Entertainment and numerous fundraisers for humanitarian causes.
