Genesis Christian College and The Lakes College are the top performing NAPLAN schools in Moreton.

An independent analysis of five years of NAPLAN results has revealed the schools which consistently performed the best in the Year 5 and Year 9 tests between 2017 and 2021.

Over that five-year period, The Lakes College, in North Lakes, had higher Year 5 yearly results than any other school in Moreton, scoring an average of 2624.0 each year.

Patricks Road State School in Ferny Hills was the second best for the region with an average score of 2623.8, while Mount Samson State School in Mount Samson was the third best with an average score of 2565.8.

The top performing Year 9 school was Genesis Christian College, in Bray Park, where the average yearly result was 2994.0 over the five years.

The Lakes College in North Lakes was the second best for the region with an average score of 2986.5, while Grace Lutheran College in Rothwell was the third best with an average score of 2936.0.

The Lakes College principal Nicole Gregory said while some schools “bolted on’’ NAPLAN preparation for their students, they built it into the curriculum and teaching and learning framework.

“Through our rigorous learning programs and adherence to the Australian curriculum we ensure that our students are in a good position to sit these tests,” Ms Gregory said.

“In addition to curriculum programs, we have some traditions that include the writing competition and the spelling bee that raise the profile of literacy in the College, which is a great platform for celebrating the success of those students who achieve high results.

“From a primary school perspective, we have heavily invested in our Walker Learning approach, which is well-researched and provides a great foundation for our early learners.

“If, as a college, our young people are focused on their individual PBs then we are lucky to reap the collective benefits of their strong results.”

To determine how each school performed between 2017 and 2021, their average scores for each year were combined and the yearly average found.

Special schools, schools with fewer than 20 students enrolled in either year, and schools that did not report any results for NAPLAN subjects in either year were excluded from the analysis.

The figures were independently compiled from the Federal Government‘s MySchool website.
