We were particularly pleased with our 2011 HSC students' excellent results. As it is our motto to realise your potential it was especially rewarding to observe our students improve over the time they spent with us. Below are some of the comments our students have made after having received their results, as well as the results themselves.
Adam (97.30) - Killara High School
I managed to get 85% in English Advanced, which is better than I could have ever imagined. Without this result, I doubt I would have gotten my ATAR of 97.30. This secured my spot in my first preference course at UNSW and also my Science Award Scholarship worth $6000 (YAY!). Thank you so much for taching me everything I needed to know and helping me overcome my apathy towards English.
Elloise (91.90) - Barker College
I’d just like to express my gratitude for your help this year in extension english and advanced english. I started the year with 83 in advanced english and 86 in extension english and after receiving my results on Wednesday I received 92/100 for my advanced English mark, and for extension English I achieved 46/50 - 92%. My ATAR was 91.90 which means I get into my first uni preference at UTS for Visual Communications combined with an International study (my ultimate goal all year). Thanks to you and Tom. I couldn't be any happier with my marks, I'm over the moon and so are my family. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Phoebe - Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College
I just wanted to say to Walter and the team at Smart Moves thanks so much for all your effort over the past couple of years. My English has improved so much – results came out today and I got a band 5, which I was stoked with and wouldn’t have believed possible in year 11. This was such a good feeling!
Amber - Oxford Falls
Wanted to let you know that Amber got an ATAR of 91 which we are thrilled with and also got 91 (band 6) for adv English. I remember you saying you could get her from an 80 to a 90 and you certainly have! Thankyou so much for all you have done. - Vivienne (Mother of Amber)
Catherine (96.55) - Pymble Ladies' College
Walter, I wanted to let you know how I went. I got 89 in English Advanced which I was stoked about! I got an ATAR of 96.55 so I’ll definately get into my first preference at UNSW. Thank you SO much for all your help over the last year.

Hannah (85.00) - Wenona
I was very pleased with my results and, as it turns out, English was my best subject - achieving a band 5. My ATAR was 85.00 which was what I needed to get into my uni course so I am stoked. I would like to thank all those at Smart Moves who enabled me to achieve this.
We'd love to make mention of all our students' HSC Achievements but unfortunately there are far too many outstanding results to list!
