About the data
The Distinguished Achievers list recognises all students with a top band (Band 6 or E4 for extension courses) result for courses.
Students can be recognised as a Distinguished Achiever if they completed at least one HSC course and achieved a top band result. This includes students undertaking some form of flexible progression such as acceleration, compressed curriculum delivery or part-time study.
