they only put up the top 200. so can't really say which came "last"
There would be more than one school that came last...last time I checked the schools by region there were a few that got 0% DA

Distinguished Achievers, in this context. In other words, people who get a band 6 in a 2 unit course or a band E4 in an extension subject.
Ahhh, I thought that's what it measured.

yep.

Something to add is:
The herald orders schools by the amount of DA's achieved at each school whereas the telegraph gives the percentage. Therefore, the telegraph is far more accurate. E.g. in the herald because of cherrybrook techs large amount of students they are ranked 21 whereas in the telegraph theyre 78.

I'm not actually sure if we're counted at all because we're International, but surely we would be. I should probably ask someone about that.

I'm not too worried I guess, because I think our school does ok (not fantastic), but it'd be nice to know.

Do you have any idea how many schools there are in NSW?
Do you go to Singapore AIS ???I go to AIS Hong Kong ! I want to find out my school ranking also!!

ummm ive just been wondering how does that work?

your in another country but your doing the HSC?

:S
They have international schools here (and in other places like HK) where you can learn from your own country's system. Here there are heaps of schools that run the HSC, IB, British system, and a few European ones as well. Basically all the teachers are Australian, we have the same subjects, same exams, same terms, all that stuff. We just have to start the HSC exams an hour or so earlier than you guys cause of the time difference :p (well, really you start before us but the actual time we start is earlier)

What Gab said, although the teachers might need to adjust the level of their teaching to appeal to the lesser intellect present at the school.
