Investigator College

Year 12 Results

In what is becoming an established trend, Investigator College’s Year 12 students have achieved excellent SACE results in recent years. The 2011 results form part of an ongoing upward trend for the College. Since 2007 Investigator College results have been superb, consolidating the fact that the South Coast boasts an independent educational institution, which delivers academic excellence and firmly negates the need for local children to travel great distances to attend schools in Adelaide.

Whilst we are a College that recognises learning as a lifelong process, our superb academic results are important and we are justifiably proud of our students’ achievements.
