The school has three students who achieved an ATAR over 90. Carla Silvia was awarded dux of the school with an ATAR score of 96.75.
"It's a relief to see the hard work and effort I put in over the three years I've been studying for the HSC pay off," Carla said.
"I was surprised with the ATAR I got, but am really proud as well."
Carla has received a scholarship to study at the University of New South Wales next year.
"I want to study a double degree of engineering and maths. I didn't know whether I would be able to, but I got the ATAR for it which is really exciting."
Heath Lancaster received an ATAR of 94.85 and also came 10th in the state in Music 1.
Rowan Hodges also received an exceptional ATAR of 90.10.
"I feel very relieved after a stressful year and to see the results I got after all of the work is really nice," Rowan said.
Rowan has been accepted to study at Macquarie University in Sydney.
"I haven't decided on what I want to study yet, I'm just weighing up options at the moment."
Overall St Paul's had 12 band 6 results (90 marks or higher) and 57 band 5 results (80-89 marks) in individual subjects.
Principal Kevin Lewis said he is very proud of the students.
"The results are a reflection of their effort, they have been a stand out group throughout their years at high school," he said.
"We're really proud of them. They are all very committed and followed their passions.
"Taking into account all results, we achieved over 20 per cent of all results in the top two bands which is exceptional."
