HIGHEST ATAR ON RECORD AT CAROLINE CHISHOLM COLLEGE 2025 ATAR Dux | Aged just 16 We are incredibly proud to celebrate an extraordinary milestone for Caroline Chisholm College. Our 2025 ATAR Dux, Nishika Talusani, has achieved the highest ATAR in the College’s history — a truly remarkable accomplishment made even more impressive by the fact that she is only 16 years old. Throughout her HSC journey, Nishika demonstrated exceptional diligence, determination and resilience, culminating in an outstanding 1st in Course for PDHPE. Her success is the result of years of commitment and a genuine partnership with her teachers — not only across Years 11 and 12, but right back to Year 7. HSC Achievements include: * All Rounder – Band 6 / E4 in 10 or more units * Outstanding Distinguished Achiever / Top Achiever – 1st place in a HSC course with a Band 6 result * Distinguished Achiever – Band 6 in English Advanced, Legal Studies, Mathematics Advanced, PDHPE and Accelerated SOR II (in Year 11) And Nishika's secret to her success? Here's what she had to say: “A key thing I did was turning each syllabus dot point into a question and making sure I would be able to answer it to ensure I went into the exam prepared for anything they could ask me." "It’s not about studying longer but rather studying smarter. This may include prioritising extra revision on topics that you are less confident in and receiving feedback from teachers on difficult questions to know exactly how to improve your answers.” This is a truly special achievement and an unforgettable milestone for Nishika, her family, teachers and our entire College community. We could not be prouder and can’t wait to see what the future holds for this exceptional young woman.
