Many students have opted to take a gap year, whether that be working locally or overseas, travelling or staying locally.
Others have opted to dive into the deep end and begin studying as soon as possible.
Hastings Secondary College celebrated excellent results on December 15 at the beach. The school had eighteen band 6s and 101 band 5s plus an encore nomination, conservatorium placements, apprenticeships, university offers and an international sporting scholarship.
Kylee Owen, executive principal of Hastings Secondary College said the college excels at catering for the passions and talents of every individual student with a diverse curriculum.
The Distinguished Achievers Award recognises students who score in the highest band in at least one of their HSC subjects.
Among those from the school were:
- Brodie Baldwin (drama)
- Kate Clarke (food technology, personal development and physical education)
- Grace Doblo (visual art)
- Kristy Field (drama)
- Molly Higgins (personal development and physical education)
- Ambrose Kranitis (English extension 1 and ancient history)
- Imel Munday (engineering and physics)
- Ebony O'Brien (ancient history and modern history)
- George Rudd (business studies, engineering and 2 unit maths)
- Leah Wattus (visual art)
- Lachlan Hamilton (music 1)
- Jasmine Nguyen (Chinese)
George received the school’s top ATAR mark (93) and said he will go to university in February to begin his path to an engineering career.
“I’m really happy with the results. I had a goal of 80 to get into civil engineering in Newcastle,” he said. “I’m a bit surprised to be honest. I put it down to a lot of study and consistent hard work.”
He also thanked his teachers for their dedication and help over the past six years.
