NSW: Investigation called into HSC reults website bungle

An investigation has been launched into a website glitch which allowed some NSW Year
12 students to see the final school results of other people.

NSW Board of Studies general manager JOHN BENNETT says two students notified the board
when they discovered they could see other students' Higher School Certificate results
on the Students Online website.

NSW Nationals MP ANDREW FRASER says when he had logged onto the internet to check his
son's HSC results, he saw another student's results.

Dr BENNETT says the website has been shut down but HSC results can still be accessed
from the Board of Studies website.

Earlier this week police were called into investigate how 101 students used an internet
link to view their HSC results early.
