Hard work pays off for Young High Students

18 December 2009

The anxious wait for many Young High students is now over with Higher School Certificate (HSC) results being released on Wednesday and their University Admissions Index ((UAI) released yesterday.

Young High principal, steve Harvey said that the results were impressive.

"Not only did we get strong performances from the students we expected, but across the board kids were getting what they wanted," Mr Harvey said.

Maxine Kerr received a band six for biology and advanced maths and band fives for chemistry, advanced English and personal development health and physical education (PDHPE) and an E3 (which was the second high mark) in extension maths.

Maxine will spend the next year doing a business services traineeship with the Hills Street Group before going to Australian National University (ANU) to study science majoring in biology and genetics.

The long hours Maxine has put into her studies has paid off with her results being better than expected.

"I am very happy with them, it was a bit of a shock to wake up to - a nice surprise though" Maxine said.

The UAI was the icing on the cake for Maxine after receiving 94.7, which will open up a variety of opportunities.

Maxine has also been recognised by the Riverina regional director, Colin Parker on her mark.

"These students are the Cream of the 2009 HSC crop," Mr Parker said.

RELAX: Jake Fountain, Chris Forbutt, Emily Green, Lucy Apps, Tom Mulquincy and Maxine Kerr are just some of the students who can now relax with their HSC in the past.
