WA’s ATAR results revealed for class of 2025

“These include alternative qualifications, portfolios, auditions or aptitude tests.”

Edith Cowan University School of Education senior lecturer Dr. Sarah Jefferson said some students might perform well after opening their ATAR results, while others might feel demoralized.

“We are in a time of mixed emotions and it would be a huge disappointment if these results come out,” he said.

“When you’ve spent years getting to this moment, it can be hard to meet expectations.”

Jefferson said it’s important for students to remember that there are “many different ways to get where you want to go.”

“This can be difficult, especially when you’re getting messages from friends who are really happy with their results,” she said.

“You may feel like you have to manage your excitement in the face of a friend who is similarly upset.

“Just listen and respect how others feel.”

He also reminded parents to be patient.

“Give your kids time to get frustrated and remind them that if their results are lower than expected, it is a diversion, not a diversion,” she said.

“Try to remain as neutral as possible and let your children decide how they want to feel.

“Like all storms, this too will pass.”

Crevald said students should seek advice when they’re unsure of what to do next.

“We know some students will struggle with their results, but there are many ways to get where you want to go and there are plenty of people to help you get there,” he said.

“I encourage students to contact their university of choice or TISC directly to explore their options.”
