HSC, ATAR results 2024 LIVE updates: Year 12 students receive marks, ATARs

Lily Thompson was at her Panania home with her parents and her twin sister, Kallie, as she opened her results this morning.
With the Herald invited in to watch her receive them, just before 6am, Lily got out her laptop on the kitchen bench and logged on to view the results.
As she read the screen of numbers and results her family gathered around her.
“Oh, OK,” she said as she looked over her results.
Her mother, Kath, replied: “Is that OK good?”
“Yeah!” Lily said.
She had strong results in her most difficult subjects— a band four for chemistry, a band four for physics, band 5 for design and tech, band 5 for advanced mathematics and an E3 for science extension.
“I am happy,” she said.
“Because I’ve gotten into early entries, I don’t need the ATAR for going to university. It is more for myself, and because I’ve tried at school for years, I’ve been trying hard to do well.”
