Well done to our dedicated teachers, leaders and students on this significant achievement. 🌟🍎

What does it take to rank 2nd in NSW for student growth? At St Paul of the Cross Dulwich Hill, it starts with exceptional teaching.

Based on independent analysis of 2025 NAPLAN data published by the Sydney Morning Herald, the school has been ranked second in NSW for overall student growth among top ICSEA quartile schools.

Around 40% of staff are pursuing or hold Highly Accomplished or Lead Teacher accreditation - a level of expertise rarely seen in a primary school.

Principal Brooke Watson puts it simply: "Our focus is on the growth of every child, not just a select few." Read more here: https://ow.ly/AWml50Zc7wH
