‘Strive to Achieve’ Assembly

Today, we celebrated the achievements of our Class of 2024 at the ‘Strive to Achieve’ Assembly.

It was wonderful to see so many of our students in attendance for this special occasion. Some were unable to join us as they were working or traveling, already embracing the next chapter of their lives.

This cohort demonstrated great determination, worked diligently, and should take immense pride in their academic accomplishments.

We are pleased to share that 99.5% of our 2024 graduates successfully attained their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), while approximately 33% of ATAR-eligible students achieved an ATAR of 90 or higher.

Since finishing school, our 2024 Seniors have embarked on diverse post-school pathways, with 97% of students who applied through QTAC already receiving tertiary offers. Management and Commerce, Engineering, and Health proved the most popular fields of study.

Others have taken up employment opportunities, commenced apprenticeships and trade pathways, or joined the Australian Defence Force. We take great pride in the variety of paths our graduates have chosen as they move forward.

During the assembly, we recognised outstanding academic achievements through various awards, including ‘Academic Distinction,’ ‘Principal’s and Rector’s Awards for Excellence in Studies,’ and ‘Top of Subject’ awards across all Senior subject areas.

The College’s two most prestigious academic awards were also presented:

• The ‘Award for Distinction in Studies’ was awarded to Clarence (Clancy) Muniandy, who maintained a consistently high academic standard throughout Year 12 and achieved the second-highest ATAR in the cohort.
• The ‘College Dux,’ awarded to the student with the highest academic results, was presented to Jasper Vinen.

Additionally, we recognised current students who qualified for an ‘Academic Distinction’ or ‘Principal’s and Rector’s Awards for Excellence in Studies’ based on their cumulative results at the conclusion of 2024.

We also acknowledged those invited to the upcoming Academic Morning Teas in recognition of their Semester 2, 2024 academic performance, engagement, or improvement.

Congratulations to all students who received awards at the assembly and to the entire Class of 2024 on their achievements!
