While Darwin High School typically receives an average of 4–5 Distinctions in this competition — known to be the most challenging of the three competitions we usually enter each year — this year’s results are a strong reflection of our students’ dedication and resilience.
A big thank you to Ms Esther Tan for organising this incredible opportunity for our students. Well done to everyone involved for embracing the challenge and representing Darwin High School so positively!
