Congratulations RGS Year 12 Graduates

RGS continues to show why it is Central Queensland’s top performing school with 100% of the 155 graduates gaining a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE). This certificate is their passport to further education, training and employment. Additionally, 80% of all general subject results were either an A or a B, and no student achieved below a C in any general subject result.

The School’s ATAR results were again strong with 4.3% receiving an ATAR above 99, 9.7% receiving a 98+ ATAR result, and 37.63% receiving a 90+ ATAR. Overall, 91.40% achieved an ATAR of 70+

Earlier this week, fellow Year 12 students Sharika Ashokumar, Bronson Carlos, Oliver Cugola, Emerald Maddy, Anabel Morrison, Ava Roche, and Thejus Sunil also received a Certificate of Academic Commendation, having achieved As in all six of their subjects.

RGS internal dux Daniel Spiryagin performed strongly in his subjects with his results including: Chemistry 99/100, Physics 99/100, Mathematical Methods 97/100, Specialist Mathematics 98/100, and Biology 96/100. The School’s external dux will be announced early in 2026.

The School’s Vocational Education and Training (VET) programme is also a key element of RGS studies, with 147 students receiving a VET qualification in 2025.

Rockhampton Grammar School Headmaster, Dr Phillip Moulds OAM said the School was proud of the Year 12 cohort for their ATAR results and the commitment they demonstrated throughout their Senior years.

“We are incredibly proud of this cohort and the ATAR results they have achieved,” Dr Moulds said.

“We have seen the work they have put in - their discipline, perseverance and willingness to challenge themselves - and today they have earned the opportunity to celebrate those outcomes.”

RGS Head of Secondary School – Academics, Ms Reniece Carter said the data was another powerful example of our students’ commitment to learning.

“It evidences the commitment of all RGS staff to each and every student,” said Ms Carter.

Ms Carter said that teachers working closely with students and parents/caregivers was a key focus and reason for the success at RGS.

Dr Moulds emphasised that success at RGS is grounded in strong partnerships and broad pathways and character development.

“Strong educational outcomes are built on a genuine partnership between students, parents and teachers,” he said.

“When families are actively engaged in a child’s learning journey, it has a powerful and lasting impact on both academic success and personal growth.”

“While ATARs are an important measure for some pathways, they are not the destination for every student. I am also very proud of the achievements of our VET students and more importantly of the type of people the young women and men of the class of 2025 have become” Dr Moulds said.

“Our graduates are pursuing a wide range of futures - from university study to apprenticeships and traineeships, entering the workforce, or travelling and gaining valuable life experience.”

“At RGS, success is about students completing their schooling as the best version of themselves - young people of character, scholarship and purpose,” he said.

“Many of our students have achieved personal bests across academics, co-curricular activities and service, and those achievements are just as worthy of celebration.”

“Our focus is on nurturing curiosity, resilience and a love of learning in an environment that values strong academics alongside whole-student development,” he said.

“When those qualities are fostered through a strong partnership, students leave RGS confident and well prepared for whatever pathway they choose.”

Ms Carter stated the RGS 2025 graduates were a united year group, who exemplified the School’s values of respect, honesty, integrity, endeavour and community, whether that be in academics, global awareness, cultural, sporting, charity or giving to the wider community.

“As an educator, it was a privilege to work with the cohort, and every graduate achieving their QCE is most rewarding as it provides them the opportunity to successfully pursue their post-school life”, Ms Carter said.
