2016 HSC First in Course

HSC First Place in Course — 2016 Higher School Certificate

First in Course lists the student(s) who achieved first place in an HSC course or VET examination and also achieved a result in the highest band (Band 6 or Band E4).

If students are equal on the highest HSC mark in a course, then the following process is used to determine the recipient(s):

take an average of each student's examination mark and assessment mark after alignment to performance bands, each to one decimal place
take an average of each student's examination mark and assessment mark before alignment to performance bands, each to two decimal places
if an extension course, use the marks awarded for other courses in the subject area.

See photographs of the First-in-course ceremony with the Minister for Education.
