‘Outstanding’ results across FNQ’s Year 12s
Region’s school leavers look to next chapter as final marks released
ONE nervous wait is over and now another begins as Far North school leavers count down the days until they find out whether they’ve been accepted into university or TAFE.
More than 1300 former students of schools across the region received their Year 12 results on the weekend.
Trinity Anglican School held a morning tea to celebrate the Class of 2018 results yesterday. Out of 63 students who sat Overall Position testing, five from the White Rock school gained the highest score, a one, four students received a two and five received a three.
TAS principal Paul Sjogren said the fact 22 per cent of the group received an OP1-3 was “outstanding”.
“Just under half the cohort received an OP1-7, an excellent outcome for our students,” he said.
“We congratulate all our graduates for their hard work and commitment over 2018.
“There were many instances of students receiving higher scores than they had prepared for as personal bests were achieved.
“Now the students wait for university offers to be released in January as our students apply for places at some of the top universities in the country.”
Further north, 100 per cent of St Andrew’s Catholic College and Peace Lutheran College students received a Year 12 Certificate of Education.
Two St Andrew’s students were awarded a Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement, while 88 students were OP eligible.
Principal Lee MacMaster said he was “very proud of all our students for continuing the St Andrew’s tradition of academic and vocational success”.
“I thank our students for their commitment to their goals and for working hard to achieve personal success in their chosen subject areas.
“I also thank our dedicated staff members for their mentoring of the students and their willingness always to foster quality teaching and learning opportunities for the students,” he said.
“Setting goals, studying hard and keeping a balance in your life during the final senior years of schooling provides enormous rewards now and into the future.”
