The third highest proportion of students receiving OP scores between one and five was at Brisbane Boys’ College, where 40.7 per cent received a top end result.
There were 140 Brisbane Boys’ College students who received an OP score last year, with 57 receiving a score between one and five.
Schools with fewer than 10 students who received an OP were not included in this analysis.
Brisbane Girls Grammar School principal Jacinda Euler said her school’s top ranking was a strong result considering it was a non-selective school where 100 per cent of students were OP eligible and sat the QCS test.
“The School’s history of consistently high results is testament to the expertise of our passionate, specialist teachers and the focus and hard work of our students,” Ms Euler said.
“Teachers hold high expectations for their students and a belief that the ability of students to learn is changeable rather than fixed.
“They continually measure student performance against standards derived from the research, however, good teaching at Girls Grammar is not just a classroom activity - it is as much about attitude and a broader conception of education as it is about traditional methods of learning.”
Brisbane Grammar School headmaster Anthony Micallef said the key to his school’s performance was its learning culture.
“This culture is supported by strong student wellbeing – teaching boys to understand their role in society, at the same time helping them become effective thinkers and self-regulated learners,” Mr Micallef said.
“Every teacher and student is a contributing member of a close community where doing your individual best is actively and openly valued.”
