Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) (17:02:19): Although it has been a couple years since I did my HSC, I remember how stressful it was walking into the testing hall for my first HSC exam. Not only have year 12 students this year had to work towards the completion of their Higher School Certificate, but also they have had to contend with the extraordinary and rapidly changing circumstances as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These students have had to shift between in-person and online learning, and contend with increased social isolation—all on top of the difficulty of preparing for their HSC exams. This has been a difficult year, but I am sure that the circumstances provided by 2020 have made this year's year 12 students resilient, flexible and ready for anything that their post-secondary school life may throw at them. I wish all year 12 students from the Coogee electorate and from across New South Wales the best of luck for their HSC exams. I cannot wait to see what they do with the next chapter of their lives.
