The Cathedral School focuses on the student as an individual rather than a number, providing a vast range of career opportunities by developing their own unique interests and personality. This year, after a challenging 2020, 111 students forged their own paths with diverse and exceptional outcomes.

Although ATAR ranks are not the deciding factor for many student’s career paths, the percentages were outstanding on both a State & National level.

Head of Senior School Mr Simon Midson described the ATAR results as one of the best he’s experienced.

‘The Cathedral School had ten students who achieved an ATAR above 98.75 which is equivalent to ten students achieving an OP1 in the previous system. This is a remarkable result that rates among the best academic performances in our school’s proud history. The highest ATAR score was 99.80 and we look forward to acknowledging this, and many other outstanding achievements, at a special assembly in first week of Term 1’

87.3% of Cathedral’s QTAC applicants received their first preference in their chosen University course, which is a 25% increase from the previous year (2020). Of these, 34 students have chosen JCU, 20 UQ, 6 Griffith, 6 CQU, 4 QUT and 1 for USC.

One of the top-ranked graduates Saskia Logan is incredibly happy with her results and offer.

“I’m really proud of my ATAR, and excited to be studying at QUT. I must admit, I was definitely worried about my results amid the Covid outbreak last year”.

Saskia has chosen to take on a unique double degree of Bachelor of Law / Science, and has received an Academic Scholarship from QUT.
