Results key to study or work in an area you love

“Try your best and good luck,” said Mr Clare, who still remembers sitting for the exam 34 years ago.
“I hope you get the results you want, and get the chance to study or work in an area you really love.
“All the best to everyone starting their exams this week and in the weeks ahead.”
Minister for Education, Prue Car, said the 2023 HSC was a significant milestone for students sitting exams, and the teachers who supported them throughout high school.
“I know for many teachers, seeing their HSC students approach the finish line of a 13-year schooling career brings mixed emotions,” Ms Car said.
“My high school teachers went above and beyond for me, and my HSC classmates. Despite workload pressures, teachers continue to deliver for our young people.
“All the best to the HSC Class of 2023 as you prepare to take on the final hurdle. You are one step closer to the end of their high school journey and your next chapter.”
With this year’s written exam period operating across 18 days, involving 124 exams and 785 exam centres – the operation of exams is no small feat.
NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) CEO Paul Martin said planning the HSC exam timetable was a momentous task to ensure every student has an opportunity to show what they knew.
“Each year, NESA works hard to ensure that the timetable for HSC students is as fair and equitable as possible, so everyone has the opportunity to prepare and do their best in the written exams,” Mr Martin said.
