Annie Phillips, Matthew Yaroslavceff, Tom Fenton, Tim Sergeant and Stuart Bryan were among hundreds of students in Orange to receive their HSC subject results yesterday, and were extremely pleased with their stellar results.
The five were among many students in their schools who received band five (80 to 89 per cent) and band six (90 to 100 per cent) in their subjects.
“I was pretty ecstatic this morning,” said Kinross-Wolaroi School student Tom Fenton, who achieved six band six in his subjects.
Students across New South Wales were able to access their results from 6am.
Many chose to do so via internet while other could receive results via SMS on their phone.
Canobolas Rural Technology High School student Matthew Yaroslavceff had an early inkling he would receive a high mark for his subject industrial automotive after pouring countless hours into his main project, a ride-on lawn mower, that was awarded best project in the state through a University of Wollongong competition.
It was no surprise that he received a band six for the subject.
The students credit having a strong support network throughout the stressful period as a key to keeping calm and focussed during the HSC.
They also noted the value of having a good study and life balance to avoid becoming overwhelmed.
James Sheahan Catholic High School student Tim Sergeant said commitment was also a key factor in achieving good results.
“You have to be committed for the entire year, not just for a few months.”
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank results will be released today from 9am on http://www.uac.edu.au
