That's only because their students all have a different main school. If they get a Band 6 in a language studied through OHS, then that result counts towards the ranking of their home school, not OHS. If you check First Place in Course - 2009 HSC - Board of Studies NSW you can see that OHS...

What documents do students receive? - Board of Studies NSW

Every pub in NSW has a rubber stamp that says LOSER. They stamp your ATAR and give you a free drink.

Oh dear, fools rush in ... "Clerical recheck HSC students can apply to the Board for a recheck of clerical procedures. This confirms that all marks have been correctly entered onto the computer file and that any question scored as a non-attempt actually contained no attempt." Step 9 –...

Yes, in Section 8.13.17 of the ACE Manual. It's also at the bottom of Section 3.1.8 in this document: HSC assessment in a standards-referenced framework - A Guide to Best Practice - Board of Studies NSW

They do need the answer booklets. Part of the clerical recheck process is that any question scored as a non-attempt actually contained no attempt. This requires a visual inspection of the student's booklets.

Probably a "depressed mark" situation. Since the top ranked student only got 81, the bos initially leaves them out of moderation. So the next ranked person was given your (highest) exam mark, 90, as their assessment mark. Only then is the top ranked student moderated, placing them appropriately...

Oh, and just where is this "free drink" obtained? Every pub in Sydney? Just another urban myth ...

No, you can't get that. It would be revealing private information about another student (the one who came 10th in the course).

Not sure if this has been posted already. It's a videocast of the First in Course Award ceremony. See what some BOSers look like! Video - NSW HSC awards presentation - The Sydney Morning Herald

The most likely explanation.

Not quite. Here's the process: If two or more students receive the top HSC Mark, the average of the examination mark and the assessment mark (each to one decimal place) is then used to select the top student(s). In the case of extension courses, if two or more students receive equal marks then...

Well, yes. You need the SC to enter for the HSC .....

Many BOS staff make the calls, so it's not strictly alpha order. There are no "alterations" to the "initial lists".

10 December HSC and SC key dates 2009 - Board of Studies NSW And no, there is no online release, just the results handed to you at school.

There is only a fixed number of marks to be shared between students during moderation. That is the total pool of marks earned by the school group on the HSC exam. If you bunched all the top students very close together then, yeah, they might get a bigger share, but that would leave nothing...
