Fresh nationwide data reporting the performance of every school across multiple classroom disciplines has revealed the Far North’s best educator in 2025.
Trinity Anglican School at White Rock was the highest performer among the region’s secondary schools with an average score of 614.2 across Year 9 reading, writing, spelling, grammar and numeracy.
The Far North’s highest scoring primary educator was Mother of Good Counsel School at Cairns North, where the Year 5 average was 521.6 across the five assessed areas.
The rankings were collated with independent data from the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority which released NAPLAN results for every school in the country on Wednesday.
While Trinity Anglican School, ranked number one in 2024, has consistently been a top performer in the region for a number of years, the Far North’s next best secondary education provider was Cairns’ St Monica’s College which scored an average of 596.4.
The girls-only high school also scored “above average” in the four of the five assessment areas, in a rating system which compared its numbers to “students with similar background.”
TAS scored an above average rating in grammar, and was “close to” average in the four other areas.
Among primary educators, St Gerard Majella Primary School at Woree was ranked second with an average Year 5 score of 512.6.
In the Far North, there were two primary schools that scored either above, or well above average in the five assessment categories: Whitfield State School and Parramatta State School.
