TAS students achieved 40 band six results in 15 subjects, including all of the music two class achieving a band six.
TAS students have featured on the All Rounders Achievers List for nine of the past ten years.
Headmaster Murray Guest congratulated all students and said the solid results across the broad were a reflection of commitment and endeavour.
“The strong results in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) subjects reflects a strategic focus to help prepare students for futures that have not even been imagined yet, but equally important is the role of the humanities and creative arts,” he said.
“So it is most gratifying that our students have engaged in subject areas that reflect their interests and abilities.”
