It’s a day of celebration for the 83 Redlands students who received their International Baccalaureate (IB) results, marking the culmination of many years of dedication and study.

Liam Petersen, Emma Wong, Sophie Yu all received a score of 44/45. A further six Redlands students achieved a 43/45, and seven received 42/45.

53% of the Redlands Class of 2025 studied the IB course, with the remaining 47% receiving their HSC results tomorrow. All the students are still to receive their ATAR, but at least 19% of the IB cohort will receive an ATAR of 98 and above, and 43% will achieve an ATAR of 95 and above.

“We are incredibly proud of our Class of 2025, who have shown themselves to be dedicated, passionate and committed students throughout their studies,” Redlands Principal, Sean Corcoran said.

“My congratulations goes out to all of our IB students today, whose commitment to their studies has been an inspiration to the wider school community. They should be very proud of this achievement.

“A Redlands education focuses on preparing students for life after school – and as they close this school chapter, I wish the Class of 2025 all the very best in the world that awaits them.”
