Marian College students Branavan Thevashangar, Sristhti Chatterji and Will Chant each scored two band six’s in their HSC exams, with each of the three students scoring one band six in their biology exam.
“I think we had a really good biology class, I guess we just worked together a lot,” Sristhi said.
“I’ve been looking at some medicine and some psychology courses for next year.”
Branavan said that if he does not get into medicine next year he will look at studying engineering while Will said he is interested in studying forensic science.

Meanwhile Wade High fell in its statewide rank becoming the 395th best scoring school in NSW this year, down from 354th in 2017.
