Academic Success
Our school is a leading coeducational comprehensive school dedicated to supporting every student from our community in achieving academic success. With a broad curriculum delivered by experienced and innovative staff, our students consistently attain ATAR scores above 90%. We take pride in our strong growth in student achievement, particularly in Years 7-9 NAPLAN, where our value-added results are the strongest in the region. Our Mathematics and Science departments continually deliver outstanding HSC results year after year.
Excellence in Performing Arts
Davidson boasts a proud 35-year tradition of excellence in the performing arts, engaging over 300 students annually in our celebrated Season of Performing Arts (SOPA). For more than three decades, SOPA has been a cherished community event showcasing the extraordinary talent, dedication, and growth of our students. Each year, students from the HSC Music, Dance, and Drama programs have their major performances nominated and showcased, highlighting their exceptional achievements.
