NSI students are the crème of the crop, according to the recent HSC High Achievers list!
Fourteen of NSI’s students achieved a place within the NSW’s Board of Studies Top Achievers list, making NSI the highest achieving Institute in NSW.
NSI Accounting students in particular achieved outstanding results, with all top six NSW HSC accounting students from NSI.
Northern Beaches College student Kelly Bainton was first in the state for accounting, while Bradfield Senior College student Alana Prompromis received the highest marks in the state for Retail Services.
Kelly, who plans on studying Business and Commerce at University next year said she was ecstatic to hear she had received such a good result.
“Before I started accountancy at TAFE NSW, I had no idea what I wanted to do, so it really helped me make up my mind,” she said.
“I had the benefit of finding out what accountancy was like while I was still at school.
“I was also able to do the majority of the course in year 11, and completed some of it during summer school, so by the time year 12 came around I was almost finished the course.
“Completing the course early on during my HSC really helped with balancing my subject workload.”
TAFE delivered vocational education and training (TVET) courses allow school students to gain workplace skills and experience to get a head-start on their career.
TVET allows students to:
• Gain practical, work-related skills to enhance your future employment opportunities
• Complete units that count towards your Higher School Certificate (HSC)
• Start or complete a nationally-recognised TAFE NSW qualification while still at school.
