Member for Ku-ring-gai Alister Henskens SC MP has congratulated the 2172 local HSC students as exams draw to an end.

More than 12,000 students across the state are sitting exams on the final day, with Visual Arts the last to finish at 3.30pm today.

Mr Henskens said the HSC class of 2015 has worked extremely hard and should be very proud to have completed the HSC.

“This is a huge moment in the lives of these students, who are marking the end of 13 years of schooling and starting a new and exciting chapter in their lives,” Mr Henskens said.

“Students have spent the past 18 days of exams demonstrating their skills and knowledge and now it’s time for a well-earned break.”

“Most people remember their HSC exams.  After they finished I was very keen to relax with my school friends and then focus on what I would do for the rest of my life,” Mr Henskens said.

Students can login to Students Online to get their school assessment ranks from 5pm tonight and will receive their HSC results on Wednesday 16 December.

“Our HSC students should be extremely proud of achieving this significant milestone, regardless of what result they receive on December 16,” Mr Henskens said.
