Supporting quality teaching at Cessnock High School

In 2020, Cessnock High School engaged the University of Newcastle in a four-year partnership to build a strong culture of teaching and learning centred on the QT Model.

In 2023, Cessnock High School ranked first in the Hunter region and 11th overall in NSW for their growth in NAPLAN results from Year 7 to 9. Cessnock students’ HSC results also improved by more than 50 per cent in 2022, a result that was replicated in 2023.

Student attendance and engagement grew by seven per cent – triple the average across the state. Positive behaviour referrals were up 130 per cent in 2023 while negative behaviours significantly decreased.

These results are a testament to the power of QT.
