b) Students are not recorded as having successfully passed a particular year of schooling except at a school report level. Of the 295 young people who commenced Year 12 in 2019, 30 achieved their Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). Not all students are on a WACE pathway and it does not mean that the remaining students did not graduate.
