Best year yet for college Year 12

Brisbane Water Secondary College Year 12 students achieved the best results ever for the college in the Higher School Certificate last November, according to collage principal Mr Steve Harris.

"Fifty of our students have now received first round university offers which is above state and regional averages," Mr Harris said.

"In coming weeks, additional offers will be made to students in the round two university offers.

"In excess of 30 per cent of our students will commence university studies.

Mr Harris said teaching staff at the college were also extremely pleased at results achieved by Year 10 students in the School Certificate.

"Our Year 10 students also excelled in the School Certificate achieving 195 Band 5 and 6 results.

"The Year 12 results included 20 Band 6 results (final score 90 and above) and 95 Band 5 marks (final score between 80 and 90).

"The most pleasing aspect was the incredibly large number of students who achieved an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank in excess of 80.

Mr Harris said the highest achieving student from the class, Emily Rainer, scored an ATAR score of 96.55 who was recognised as Dux of the College late last year.

"Indeed five of our students achieved ATAR's above 90 which reflects the calibre of the cohort and the quality of teaching and learning provided in our area from preschool through to Year 12," Mr Harris said.

"We were also delighted that very few of our students achieved in the bottom two bands. "Out of the entire cohort of students who studied Biology, Chemistry, Community and Family Studies, Dance, Drama, English Advanced, English as a Second Language, Information Processing Technology, Legal Studies, Music, Society & Culture, Visual Arts, Construction, Business Services, and Hospitality, not a single student achieved a Band 1 or 2.

"In other words, every single student in these subjects achieved a result of 60 or above."
