However, complications from the COVID-19 Pandemic have lead to delays with several of the Company's operations. Accolades The school's main outlet of recognition for achievements, academic or otherwise, is the annual presentation night. An award is handed out each year at the annual presentation night called the "Decade Award", to recognise the achievements of alumni. In the 2004 NSW High School Certificate (HSC), 24 Springwood High School students were distinguished achievers (reached Band 6 standard by achieving a mark for 90 or more for a course.) This was compared to only 16 from nearby Winmalee High School, and 13 from Blaxland High School. Springwood High received the 'Director-General's School Achievement Award' in 2002 in recognition of its achievements over its 14-year history. It was labelled "a symbol of the achievements of quality public education".
