North Sydney Boys Leads as NSW HSC and ATAR Results 2025 Are Revealed
Today has been a huge and emotional day for thousands of NSW Year 12 students, as the HSC and ATAR results for 2025 were officially released. After months of exams, waiting, and second-guessing every answer, the numbers are finally out — and once again, North Sydney Boys High School has topped the state’s school rankings, reinforcing its reputation as one of the strongest academic performers in NSW.
As results began dropping early in the morning, students across the state rushed to log in, many refreshing their screens repeatedly as systems struggled with demand. For some, the wait felt endless. For others, the moment was over in seconds, followed by shock, relief, tears, or celebrations. ATARs as high as 99.95 were achieved by multiple students, with North Sydney Boys producing seven perfect scorers, an extraordinary achievement that set the tone for the day’s headlines.

What stood out this year was not just the dominance of selective and high-performing schools, but the range of personal stories behind the numbers. Students from metropolitan Sydney, Western Sydney, and regional NSW all featured among the top achievers. Some had quietly hoped for strong results, while others had already let go of their dream courses — only to be pulled back in by scores far higher than expected. It was repeatedly said that the hard work had paid off, even when confidence had been low.
Alongside individual success stories, school system results were also closely watched. Sydney Catholic Schools recorded one of their strongest HSC performances ever. Nearly 4,500 students completed the HSC, producing record numbers of Band 6 results, Distinguished Achievers, and First in Course honours. Several Catholic schools placed inside the state’s top 100 and top 150 rankings, showing steady improvement and broader system-wide strength. For some newer schools, this was their very first HSC cohort, making the results even more meaningful.
Creative subjects, vocational education, and performing arts were also celebrated, with hundreds of nominations across state showcases and nearly 2,000 nationally recognised VET qualifications achieved. It was repeatedly emphasised that success was being defined in many different ways — not just by ATARs, but by pathways into university, employment, and further training.
As the dust settles, students are now being reminded to finalise their university preferences, with offers just days away. For now, though, the focus is on taking a breath, celebrating the effort that went in, and recognising that the Class of 2025 has officially closed one chapter and opened another. For many families and schools across NSW, today will be remembered for a very long time.
