Two sets of twins sit HSC

Among thousands of Central coast students currently sitting their HSC exams are two sets of twins from Gorokan High School.

Identical twins Indianna and Isabella Dutton and fraternal twins Jaxon and Lars Oxenbridge completed the English paper on October 16 as the exams officially began.

Indianna Dutton said she was “very excited” to begin the exams, with Isabella saying she was excited to get to sit next to her sister.

“I hope we get to sit next to each other in our other exams as well,” she said.

The twins joked about their telepathic connection.

“I just look at her and I know things,” Indianna said.

“We give each other information from our brains – actually we can,” Isabella said.

Lars and Jaxon Oxenbridge are also happy to be going through the exams together, with Lars expressing relief at “not having to sit next to a stranger”.

“It makes it a bit more comforting being able to sit next to Lars,” Jaxon said.

The four students shared their confusion at the “enriched understanding of the human spirit” question in the first English exam, all agreeing it was the trickiest of all the exam questions.

“I watched lots of study TikToks before the exam, and they were more focused on inconsistencies in paradoxes not the human experience,” Indianna said.

But Isabella said that overall she felt “the exam went really well, and she “remembered all I was supposed to”.

In preparation for their next exams, the students said they would ensure to get ample sleep, look through past papers and study has hard as they could.
