The Glennie School, Toowoomba

2024 Achievements

The Greek philosopher Aristotle believed that excellence is not an act, but a habit, cultivated through patience, determination, practice and deliberate effort. Aristotle’s philosophy of excellence rings true today and captures the spirit, determination, and perseverance of our 2024 graduating cohort. Achieving success requires cultivating good habits, setting clear goals, and fostering a positive mindset and our Year 12 cohort has done just this. Our Year 12 students have worked diligently, demonstrating resilience while embodying the patience, dedication, and perseverance needed to pursue their personal best.

Their outstanding achievements deserve celebration, as does the recognition of each student’s personal best. Success comes in many forms, and we are immensely proud of every student for their accomplishments and for making their mark in their own meaningful way. We also acknowledge the part their teachers, parents and wider community have played in supporting our Year 12 students throughout their schooling journey. 

The Class of 2024 has excelled, showcasing the determination and spirit that define Glennie girls. Among our ATAR-eligible students:

  • 29% of students achieved an ATAR of 90 and above
  • 14% of students achieved 95 and above
  • 6% of students achieved 98 and above
  • 100% of students achieved a QCE

 

 

 

 

 

This year’s cohort has demonstrated achievements across diverse pathways:

  •  90% of our graduating students balanced their academic pursuits with active participation in Arts or Sports, exemplifying Glennie’s holistic approach to education
  • 30% of our students have received early university offers and more than 81% of students have applied for further tertiary education
  • 60% of students have obtained a Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification

These achievements reflect the determination, resilience, patience, and hard work of our Year 12 students and can be summarised as follows: 

Despite how different we all are as individuals, I love that we can all come together to celebrate each other’s wins and make a positive contribution to the School community. – Dulini Dewage

My cohort is strongly defined by its resilience and perseverance during stressful times, all while maintaining a positive attitude and celebrating everyone’s talents and ambitions. – Eman Shahbaz

I believe that my cohort has shown great strength and perseverance throughout the year in so many ways and has truly encapsulated what it means to “Be Her Sister” as a Glennie sisterhood. – Isabelle Morrissey

Congratulations to the Class of 2024!  Go well, shine brightly, and continue to embody the Glennie values of compassion, courage, integrity and respect as you begin your life outside of school. Celebrate your successes, embrace new challenges and continue to make a positive impact on the world around you.

A focus on career

There is no doubt that today’s workforce is more diverse and young people have more flexibility in their careers than ever before. 

And there is no doubt that our workplaces are more complex than ever as we have fast-forwarded to globalisation, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, digital technology, working from home and working from anywhere. All of these changes have created the new world of work.

Our 2024 graduates are taking the next step in their career pathway well positioned to embrace this changed landscape. Our young people are more career-oriented and more globally aware than ever before. They want to contribute more and they leave Glennie knowing that they can empower themselves and the world around them.

We see this empowerment in the way that the 2024 Glennie graduates have approached their future study and work choices. In 2024, 30% of our cohort had received early entry offers to university before they had finished school. Determined to create their own path, they researched their options early and took advantage of the ways they could finish their senior studies knowing they had future study options. 

In 2024:

  • 11 students completed 12 university subjects while at the School (Headstart).
  • 4 students completed a Diploma in Business.
  • 30% of Year 12 students received an early entry university offer.
  • 60% of Year 12 students were awarded one or more Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification.
