Graduating students are still on a high after the release of 2021 HSC students' Australian Admissions Tertiary Ranks (ATARs) on January 20.

Connor McInnes, Hayne Newell and Daniel Elliott recorded the school's highest ATAR scores with a 93.15, 92.85 and 91.10 respectively.

McInnes, who was also recognised as the dux of the school, said he is currently on a youth development program with the Windeward Bound traditional sail-training tall ship in Tasmania.

"I was very happy with the 93.15 and it really justified all the hard work I have put in. The results were released a lot later and it feels like it's already in the past," he said.

"Last year was very tough and the most challenging thing was just the unknown. I was able to adapt as I went and plan everything out so I didn't burn myself out.

"I was pretty excited to be named dux, I wasn't expecting it and it was quite exciting. I'm not sure if I will go to university yet, but I will definitely be taking a gap year.

"I would encourage the next year 12s not to get hung up on the stress of different changes and to maintain a good balance. Try to roll with the year, make a solid plan initially but don't be afraid to change that plan to suit."

Heather Maclachlan, Garet Hughes, Macey Wilkinson and Tim O'Brien scored a band six in one or more subjects. The school also had 41 students gain unconditional early entry into university.
