Mulwaree High School principal Judith Stewart said results were similar to last year and felt COVID-19 made the students work harder.

"There's not a lot of difference to last year," Ms Stewart said.

"Overall, there might not be more higher results, but there have definitely been less lower results.

"When the kids came back, they really worked harder in their classes to try and make up the time."

She hoped the students would always make the most of any opportunity that would come their way and to have confidence.

A morning tea was prepared for the year 12 students and assistant principal Sally Curry spent time to focus on the students as people and not their results.

"You've had a great year in a bad year.

"Your attitudes have been great and we really enjoyed having you."
