With HSC results released to over 71,000 NSW students tomorrow, a handful have been able to celebrate early with the news they have topped the state in one or more courses.

NSW Minister for Education, Adrian Piccoli announced the 107 First in Course recipients at a ceremony attended by many of the students and their families today at the Australian Technology Park in Eveleigh.

"The HSC is a world-class credential, and it is important that we acknowledge these students who have worked so hard to reach the top of their courses," said Mr Piccoli.

"Of course, behind every good student, there is almost always a patient, understanding and supportive group of family and teachers. Today's ceremony is an acknowledgement of their efforts too."
