The NSW Education Standards Authority celebrated the students who topped a course at a special ceremony in Sydney yesterday.
Jaya Armstrong, from Wagga Christian College, topped HSC for software design and development.
Education Minister Rob Stokes awarded academic prizes to 127 students from across NSW who came first or equal first in one or more of this year’s 118 HSC courses.
“I congratulate not just these winners, but all of this year’s HSC recipients for their dedication, perseverance and hard work,” Mr Stokes said.
An equal number of government and non-government schools, 46 each, were recognisied in this year’s First in Course awards.
“I am proud to see the HSC successes across NSW schools, thanks to the hard work of teachers and families in supporting and nurturing our talented students,” Mr Stokes said.
“Don’t despair if you do not achieve the result you were hoping for - remember there are so many paths to success and your HSC doesn’t define you.”
Wagga High School’s careers adviser Annie Fellows said students should not let “a few numbers stand in the way” of their futures.
“Students need to remember that the HSC results and the ATAR are one part of their post school journey,” Mrs Fellows said.
“There are so many options for students to consider post HSC.
“They need to weigh up all their options and look what their skills are and where their interests lie to find the right pathway: university, TAFE, a gap year or employment.”
Mrs Fellows encouraged students to seek advise from their careers adviser or to contact educational institutions directly to help clarify options.
