Mr McKim said that 2290 students received an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) this year, making them eligible to apply for a place at university - up from 2287 last year.

"The good results are a testament to their hard work and the dedication of their teachers,'' Mr McKim said.

"I'd especially like to congratulate the students who received an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) of 98.45 or better, putting them in the top 1.5 per cent of their age group in Australia.''
