Students, teachers and families across NSW are reflecting on Higher School Certificate results which landed for students yesterday morning, including a record 69,962 attaining their HSC and another 9,522 who have completed at least one HSC course.
The Class of 2024 are the largest cohort in NSW and Australian history, with 57,205 students eligible to receive an ATAR, and 18,430, or a quarter of students completing a VET course.
This year’s graduates have bright futures ahead, with 12 per cent of all course results in the top band, 42 per cent in the top two bands, and 74 per cent in the top three bands.
Government school students are also celebrating this week as they finished Term 4 yesterday, with teachers and school staff also set to put their pens down for a well-earned Christmas break at the end of the week.
