will 90 + atars be published? (1 Viewer)

[sreebee]

what if you get high 80's and a couple of 89's and end up getting above 90, will that be published in the newspaper?

hmm it might be published if ur school wants to

Your school might publish it if you tell them your atars (i don't think the school gets atars), but i highly doubt they'd publish the whole state's 90+ atars, theres too many

The State government banned the mass publication of ATARs after the Daily Telegraph ran a story in the 1990s about the 'Year that failed the HSC'. It was a school where no one received a TER (as it was then) above 50.

Since then only the student gets the UAI/ATAR and you are under no obligation to tell your school what you got. Schools are also not supposed to publish these ATARs at all although sometimes you will see a sign congratulating a student with their ATAR outside a school or a school might put the list of over 90s in their school newletter but that is all that is now allowed.

Back in the 1970s the entire results were published in the papers - no ATARs or equivalents in those days just total marks but every student's name was listed with every subject that they passed - subjects that a student failed weren't listed and yes you could actually fail - and if you failed English no HSC and no chance at uni either.

Times have changed of course and now your privacy is guaranteed over anybody else's perceived right to know.

We have to print a proof - but I guess you could spoof that lol

Yeah, but since schools get your marks, teachers that have some experience at the HSC could guestimate your ATAR. Although if you got 99.90, it'd be possible to say 99.95.

In my local newspaper (Manly Daily), they were advertising the Northern Beaches Secondary College schools and they had the highest achieveing student with their ATAR for each school...
