Academic results

NAPLAN 2025

St Margaret’s has again achieved very pleasing results and we commend the efforts and dedication of our students and the staff and parents who support them.

Across all domains (Writing, Reading, Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation, and Numeracy) and all tested year levels (Years 3, 5, 7 and 9), St Margaret’s results are, again, well above the state and national averages.

While we no longer have comparative data to report against, we believe our consistently strong results are commensurate with previous years, where St Margaret’s ranked amongst the top-performing schools in Queensland.

St Margaret’s maintains a strong focus on literacy and numeracy as the foundation of all good learning and these results reflect the school’s commitment to ensuring all students have the best opportunities to develop these skills.

NAPLAN results are used both individually and collectively. Individually, they provide important insights to a child’s progress, strengths and areas requiring further development. Collectively, the results ensure we are meeting our commitment to developing strong foundational skills and are used to further inform curriculum programs and delivery throughout the school.

These results are but one measure among many that contribute to the well-rounded education St Margaret’s provides to our students.

Class of 2025: Outstanding Academic Achievements

We congratulate all our Year 12s as they step into their futures, armed not only with a set of academic results, but we trust with the benefit of a holistic St Margaret’s education and a toolkit of skills and dispositions to draw on as they embark on their post-school journeys as confident, compassionate, capable women.

Across its 130-year history, St Margaret’s mission has been to cater to a diverse community of learners by offering a range of pathways that enable them to explore their interests, discover their strengths, and shape their aspirations.

The infographic below outlines some of the more significant markers representing both our ATAR and Portfolio Pathway Students. Under the ATAR system, students can choose to withhold their results from the school. The statistics below represent 123 of our 128 ATAR eligible students.

St Margaret’s is a non-selective day and boarding school that consistently achieves above state and national averages across the key academic markers. Our 2025 graduates have achieved exceptional results.

Based on the results above for both our ATAR eligible students and our portfolio pathway students, all Year 12 students will have the opportunity to access a university education, should they choose to do so.

Beyond graduating with these fine academic outcomes, our graduates leave us with a rich student experience through their involvement in the myriad extracurricular opportunities in which they engaged. The additional skills and dispositions acquired in the pursuit of these enriching experiences are documented in their St Margarets Plus Portfolio, equipping them with the evidence of proven capabilities and a step up as they continue their personal and learning journeys.

We wish them all the best in their future studies and endeavours.
