Best of the best: Trinity student tops HSC subjectNSW first in course HSC students with NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian at an award ceremony.

Local Trinity Catholic College student, Alejandra Paredez Paredes, has placed first in the Italian Beginners course in the 2019 Higher School Certificate (HSC).


She is one of more than 66,000 students who completed their HSC this year and one of 135 students who had received an award for academic achievement. 


 


NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell congratulated the students and said finishing first in one of the 119 courses is an outstanding accomplishment.

  

“Six of the first place award recipients topped more than one course, which is incredible,” Ms Berejiklian said.


“These students have worked extremely hard and put in countless hours of effort and study, and they should be very proud of their remarkable academic achievements.”


 In 20019, 7500 students studied one or more HSC courses throughout the year and 55,000 students are eligible for an ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank).


Ms Mitchell also commended the students who received recognition on the Merit List for All Round Achievers, Top Achievers and Distinguished Achievers.


“Congratulations to the 1449 students who received the All Rounder Achievers award this year, for scoring in the highest band in at least 10 units of study,” Ms Mitchell said.


“A further 790 students received Top Achievers and 17,123 on the Distinguished Achievers List.


“Our experienced and dedicated NSW teachers, along with family and friends have supported and encouraged these young people to achieve the highest possible result in an HSC course."


2019 HSC students who sat at least one exam will receive their results by SMS, email and online today. 


NESA (NSW Education Standards Authority) will make the results available through the Students Online personal account.
