THE SENIOR CLASS OF 2022

The 2022 school year saw mesmerising on-stage performances, exciting sporting moments and significant community gatherings.

Academically, the 2022 Senior cohort led the way in both their efforts and achievements, finishing with a median Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) of 84.05 per cent, with 34.2 per cent of students achieving an ATAR of 90 or higher. As well as these strong ATAR results, 101 students were awarded one or more Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications as part of their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).

Ten students received an ATAR of 98 or higher, with Dux of the College Thomas Robertson achieving a score of 99.50 and Proxime Accessit Lachlan Barrett accomplishing a 99.45 rank.

The 2022 high achievers and subject duxes returned to the College in February for an Academic Assembly to celebrate their successes. During this, Thomas Robertson delivered an inspiring speech to the current students:

Every single one of us is granted the privilege of attending such a great school under unique circumstances, and one of the perks of such an opportunity is the abundance of people here to help you through your journey. I assure you you will learn many valuable lessons, though always remember to keep your eyes on your prize; a 99 ATAR, a certificate, diploma, apprenticeship, sports team, ensemble, or whatever that may be. If you have a passion, follow it, and know that sometimes the best advice is none at all. If something is working for you, stick with it.

Congratulations to Thomas, and indeed the entire 2022 cohort on their academic efforts throughout their schooling.
