Congratulations to these senior students (16 years old and over) who topped their state or the combined territories – with some tied for first place. They receive medals, book prizes and special certificates. Ashwin Rudder (NSW) and Dawen Shi (NSW) achieved the top mark in Australia.

Extra prizes are awarded to very high-scoring students:

High-scoring senior students in Year 11 or less are selected to represent their state/territory at Geography's Big Week Out. Go to that page to see the story and pics of Big Week Out.
