2023 Year 12 Cohort

There were 75 students who completed Year 12 at Cedar College during 2023.

Following the recent release of SACE results, we are pleased to announce that 100% of our graduating Year 12s achieved their SACE Certificate (as has been the case for many years). The fact that we have been able to maintain a consistent 100% SACE Completion speaks volumes of our students, and their teachers, who work tirelessly alongside them.
