A TikToker has defended Year 12 students as they prepare to sit for their HSC after their final examinations were delayed and students were told to stop 'whinging'.
The social media star, who goes by the name of Uncle Nathan, said he sympathised with students after their end-of-year exams were pushed back because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The HSC is normally held in October but students have been forced to sit them in November. To add more pressure, they have spent most of the school year learning from home.
'Year 12 students have basically been studying for over 10 weeks now for exams that might not even happen,' Uncle Nathan said in a TikTok video.

'It is significant. It is scary. Imagine having the most important thing in your life so far be just a few weeks only to be told, ''Oh wait, we're just going to push it back a little bit''.'
'And then you start preparing for that date, and they push it back again.'
Disruptions to classroom learning has been experienced by final year students across the entire country. Though some have been allowed to return to campus sooner than others.
Students living in regional Victoria have been allowed to return to the classroom.
Those living in Greater Melbourne must continue with online learning as stay-at-home orders remain in place.
In NSW, Year 12 students living outside of the 12 local government areas of concern have been able to access their school campus. Meanwhile, their peers in western Sydney have been banned from returning to the classroom.
