Fairholme College is delighted to have received the best ever results in the history of the school.

The graduating class of 2022 were the top performing school in the Darling Downs and were among the highest schools in the state with 6.3% scoring an ATAR 99 or above, including a median ATAR of 91. 

Head of Teaching and Learning, Pam Stains says the results are a culmination of hard work, outstanding teachers, and a thriving environment.

‘Girls who feel a sense of belonging to their learning environment have greater academic motivation, which leads to greater academic achievement. 

Every member of our Fairholme Staff contributes to our girls feeling connected to their school. We celebrate not only the ATAR results, but all Year 12 graduates who succeeded in their studies, whatever their results may be,’ Mrs Stains said. 

Adding to the successful results, 20 students achieved As in 5 subjects, while 2 students received full marks (100%) in all internal and external assessment for 2 subjects.

Where to now for the 2022 cohort? Interestingly, the highest offered areas of study were Society and Culture, closely followed by Health. 

‘Our girls continue to explore career paths and interests in the areas of Society and Culture, particularly Psychology. 

Fairholme is above the state average numbers for students choosing to study Society and Culture and Agriculture. 

We are incredibly proud of our graduates and wish them every success as they embark on the next chapter of their lives.’ 

We look forward to presenting our Dux, Proxime Accessit and Ordine Tertia at our commencement assembly.
