Flourishing students 11 Feb 2025 ©Brisbane Catholic Education, San Sisto College, Carina (2025). The achievements of the Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) graduating class of 2024 are being celebrated this week, with students achieving perfect scores in their Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) general subjects. These students, along with hundreds more, will be celebrated as part of BCE’s Inaugural Student Excellence Awards. The awards are dedicated to honouring graduates who excelled in their QCAA subjects across BCE’s 36 secondary and Prep to Year 12 schools. In 2024, 1,447 subject scores were 90 or above, with 159 an impressive 98 or higher. An education to believe in BCE Lead Education Advisor Margaret Bailey said these accomplishments highlighted the exceptional quality of education offered by BCE. “Students who achieve a score of 98 or above in a QCAA General subject truly deserve to have their remarkable efforts acknowledged,” she said. “The BCE Student Excellence Awards ensure that our students receive the recognition they have worked tirelessly to earn. “Families can have confidence in the exceptional education BCE provides and trust in the bright futures we help our students achieve.” Graduate snapshot In 2024, 3967 Year 12 students graduated from the BCE system. Thousands of these students successfully attained a Queensland Certificate of Education or a Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement. Of these, 2,666 students completed a Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification, and 517 students participated in School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships. Margaret adds “these accomplishments reflect BCE’s holistic approach to education, which provides diverse pathways to success and ensures every student has the opportunity to grow and thrive.” A culture of excellence The inaugural Student Excellence Awards represents BCE’s broader commitment to celebrating student success. Going forward BCE aims to involve students, staff, and the wider community in shaping future recognition programs. “Excellence comes in many forms,” Margaret said. “By inviting community input, we can continue to celebrate achievements in a way that reflects the values and aspirations of our 146 schools.”
