A spokeswoman for TSAC said the college had achieved extremely positive student results in OP calculations and the Queensland Core Skills test in 2019.

“Our porggrams offer students a huge range of opportunities to empower their future. As we enter the new school year, we look forward to the opportunities that are afforded through the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank and the reworked QCAA syllabi and QCE system.”

Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School, East Ipswich, had the second highest proportion of high end OP scores in the Ipswich area, with 28.1 per cent of students receiving a score between one and five.

Of the 32 students who received an OP at Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School, 9 received a result between one and five.

The third highest proportion of students receiving OP scores between one and five was at St Edmund’s College, where 26.8 per cent received a top end result.

There were 71 St Edmund’s College students who received an OP score last year, with 19 receiving a score between one and five.
