Elpida from the NSW School of Languages told The Greek Herald she’s really happy with her result.
“I’m beyond proud of myself and pleased to see how all of my hard work has paid off. I’m very excited to see what the future holds for me,” Elpida said.
Mietta, who came first in the state in Chinese Extension said she’s grateful to her teachers and classmates for their support and commitment the past few years.
“I worked incredibly hard and I know everyone else did too, so I am so honoured to have taken first in course,” Mietta added.
These students will gather in Western Sydney to celebrate today as 128 students from 89 schools are awarded for achieving first or equal first place in a 2023 HSC course.
Among those top performers are 59 students from 37 NSW public schools, who achieved First in Course for HSC courses including Biology, Chemistry, Business Studies, Society and Culture, and English Extension 2.
All 67,234 students will receive their much-anticipated HSC results by SMS, email and online from 6am on Thursday, December 14.
