HSC Results

I have two things to say about the recent release of the HSC results.

1. Premier Iemma has been celebrating the fact that Govt schools topped the list of best performing schools in NSW. What he neglects to mention is that all these Govt schools are selective. They select from the thousands wanting to attend these schools. Many intelligent people have to miss out (eg Me) because there are limited places available. It’s easy to perform well when you get to choose who can attend.
2. I am very proud this year. There was a core group of young people at the G.U.C youth group (called BOB). I helped and sometimes led this group of youngsters for many years. This group has now graduated from Yr 12. Most, in fact, have featured on the honour roll that was in the paper this week.
