Students from the city’s five secondary schools received their subject marks yesterday, with results consistent with last year.
The Canobolas Rural Technology High School’s Amber Noon reached the top achievers’ list after she ranked fifth in the state in human services, which she completed through TAFE Western.
“It was something I liked, so I thought I would do reasonably well, but not that well,” she said.
Amber said she hoped to study nursing at Charles Sturt University’s Bathurst campus.
“I like the medical side of it and I think it’ll be rewarding helping people every day,” she said.
Kinross Wolaroi School’s Olivia Brooks was named an all-rounder for her band sixes in chemistry, English advanced, mathematics, French continuers and Latin continuers.
She also received a band E4 for mathematics extension 1 and 2.
In all, about 91 students across the five schools were named on the distinguished achievers' list for scoring 90 and above in a two-unit subject, or 45 and above in a single-unit subject, the same number as last year.
Fifty-six came from Kinross Wolaroi School, 19 from James Sheahan Catholic High School, 10 from Orange High School, three from Orange Christian School and two from Canobolas Rural Technology High School.
More than 76,000 students across the state sat at least one exam.
Australian Tertiary Admissions Ranks (ATAR) will be released today, which will give students an indication as to whether they will be able to enrol in the tertiary course of their choice.
