Record Academic Results for the 2025 Senior Cohort
I am delighted to update our community with the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) results* of our 2025 Seniors released today. The 2025 Senior cohort should be commended for their academic achievements, and the College is proud of the 99% of students who attained their QCE. This cohort has continued to build on our strong academic performance, achieving the highest results since ATAR calculations began in 2020. The 2025 cohort finished with a median score of 88.6 and a mean of 86.8. We would like to acknowledge the significant achievements of the six students who achieved an ATAR of 99 or higher, and the 17 students who achieved an ATAR of 97 or higher. We send our special congratulations to College Dux, Lucian De Wet, who achieved a perfect ATAR score of 99.95.

We would like to congratulate the 16 students, including Lucian, who received an Academic Commendation Award from QCAA for 6 As in General subjects, and the five students who achieved a perfect subject score in one or more subjects.
