Climate was also front of mind this year for James Bagnall, who ranked first in the state in earth and environmental science. The 18-year-old said he was constantly struck by the importance of what he was learning during his HSC studies.

That was the route taken by Liam Birrer, 18, who missed his metal and engineering exam to fight fires in the Port Macquarie region as an RFS volunteer.
