Year 12 student Katherine Wagner achieved an ATAR of 94.6, making her St Augustine’s dux of 2023.

She fast-tracked English literature and further maths and also studied history, global politics, classical studies and legal studies.

Katherine is a member of Girl Guides and the Country Women’s Association and had a lead role in this year’s St Augustine’s production Aladdin Jr.

She is planning to pursue further studies in law and global studies.

St Augustine’s had 16 students who sat their exams and wanted to apply to universities. Of those 16, three got an ATAR above 84 and a further four students scored above 70.

The school congratulated Katherine and all of the Year 12s on their accomplishments.
