“I also express my gratitude to our talented and dedicated teachers who have supported our HSC students so comprehensively and effectively.”
A Kesser Torah spokesperson said: “Congratulations to the Class of 2015 on their HSC results. KTC are very proud of the way the students applied themselves to their studies in their final two years of high school.
“The results this year were very strong and reflected the efforts of both the students and the teachers.”
