As we embark on a new and exciting school year, I extend a heartfelt welcome back to our hardworking school leaders, educators, students and parents.

The Ministry of Education is exceptionally proud to announce the outstanding performance of students graduating from the Territory's public primary and secondary schools. We are delighted to recognise and celebrate the hard work, dedication, and excellence demonstrated by all our students exiting primary and secondary schools this year and bid them all a hearty congratulations.
