High school students are expressing mixed emotions about their ATAR scores, ranging from extreme excitement to disappointment.

After weeks of anticipation and years of hard work, the students of year 12 in New South Wales are finally receiving their HSC results and ATARs. It's a moment that they have been eagerly waiting for and it marks the end of their high school journey. Some students have shared their thoughts and feelings with 9News.com.au, revealing a mix of emotions after finding out their scores.

Katya Walker, a recent graduate of Toongabbie Christian College in Sydney's west, had planned to check her results with her parents over a video call. However, the results were released earlier than expected and her parents missed the call. Despite feeling "pretty terrified" beforehand, Katya was pleasantly surprised by her results. She excitedly shared the news with her best friend and family, saying, "We're pretty happy with what we got." Katya has already accepted an early offer to study Psychology at Macquarie University, but she admits that the moment of receiving her results felt somewhat anticlimactic.

Similarly, Sophie Cox from St George Christian School in Hurstville had a nerve-wracking wait for her results. She describes feeling sick to her stomach and incredibly nervous, but when she finally checked her ATAR, she was relieved to see that she had done better than expected. Sophie believes that her hard work has paid off, saying, "I feel like you could see the work that I put in being able to be seen in the marks." She is now hoping to study Midwifery at UTS and is confident that her marks will be enough to secure her a spot.

At Saint Andrews Cathedral School in Sydney's inner city, Joshua Mitchell and Asher Camejo-Hart were joint duxes. Asher expressed his happiness at receiving his results, saying, "I've been so happy. I was quite pleasantly surprised." He plans to study Psychology and Maths at the University of Sydney, which he describes as his "Dream Course." Joshua, on the other hand, faced additional challenges as he worked towards his top marks. He has dysgraphia, which prevents him from writing by hand, and he needed to dictate his answers in exams. Despite these obstacles, he managed to achieve top marks and has been offered a scholarship to study computer science at UNSW.

For many year 12 students, the release of their HSC results and ATARs marks the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. They have worked hard and overcome obstacles to get to this point, and now they can look forward to pursuing their dreams and goals. As they celebrate their achievements and plan for the future, they are reminded that the hard work and dedication they put in during their high school years truly paid off. Congratulations to all the year 12 students in NSW on a job well done!
