IPSWICH Girls’ Grammar School’s (IGGS) graduating class of 2022 has maintained the school’s reputation
for exceptional academic performance and a commitment to personal excellence.
With many highachieving students, eight percent received an ATAR greater than or equal to 99, placing them in the top one per cent of students in Queensland.
In total almost a quarter of the school’s cohort received an ATAR greater than or equal to 95, and 37 per cent achieved 90 or greater.
The 2022 Miss Tatham’s Memorial Prize for Dux of the School will be awarded to Lauren Stacey who achieved an ATAR of 99.75.
She plans to take a gap year in 2023 before pursuing further study in healthcare.
Students achieved perfect scores in 12 external assessments, while two students attained overall perfect scores in subjects for the year.
Many IGGS students were offered early university places, from Griffith University and Queensland University of Technology, in study areas including Psychological Science, Business, Engineering, Fine Arts, and Creative Industries.
IGGS Deputy Principal, Lynda Wall said the outstanding results were a testament to the diligence this cohort showed not just this year, but throughout their educational journey.
“Senior studies for these students were interrupted and challenged many times throughout the past two years,” she said.
“Our students have risen to the challenge, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability.
“More than a quarter of the students also achieved Vocational Education Training Certificates.
This means students leave school with work-ready skills, enabling them to seek employment or further training.
“Students undertook Certificate courses in a range of disciplines, including sport and recreation, hospitality, health support, dance and salon assistance.”
