2022 Annual Review

Highlights—2022

• The 2022 academic results for the School reflect its longstanding reputation as Queensland’s leading girls’ school.

• Brisbane Girls Grammar School was once again one of the top-performing secondary schools in Queensland for the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), with a median ATAR result of 95.75.

• One hundred per cent of Year 12 2022 students were ATAR-eligible and 100 per cent of students who applied for tertiary study (bachelors degrees) were offered a place.

• The Year 12 2022 cohort exceeded all Queensland state averages in the ATAR system: 14.59 per cent received 99 and above; 27.47 per cent received 98 and above; 55.79 per cent received 95 and above; 77.25 per cent received 90 and above; and 93.31 per cent received 80 and above.

• The School held its second Giving Day event on 16 August 2022, with more than $753 000 raised allowing for the establishment of a new means-tested bursary, in perpetuity, the Parents & Friends Association Bursary , which will create an opportunity every five years for a girl to receive a Girls Grammar education, who would not otherwise be able to do so.

• To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the P&F Association, a bronze bust of the Roman goddess, Minerva, was installed at the front of the Spring Hill campus. The goddess of wisdom and sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy, Minerva is believed to excel at music, poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving and the crafts. A statue of this impressive ‘all-rounder’ was used in Girls Grammar Classics classrooms as a teaching device from the 1920s, and embraced by senior students as a sort of muse.
