A rewarding and challenging journey has come to an end for around 75,000 Year 12 students in New South Wales, who received their HSC (Higher School Certificate) results on Friday.
Many students of Hellenic heritage, boys and girls, claimed top rankings in the merit lists of All Round, Top and Distinguished Achievers.
But this year’s ‘First in course’ awards was a female domain for the community.
The recognition is awarded to students who achieve the highest HSC result in each course and “only awarded if the result is in the highest band possible for that course”.
Among the four Greek Australians named in the list is Maria Kontou who came first in the state in two of the three Modern Greek courses available, both the Continuers and the Extension levels.
