In another example of the cohort’s consistency, 51.7% of students achieved an OP1-5, or ATAR of 93 or above. Two BGS 2019 graduates were recognised at the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) Achievement Awards for the top 32 students in the state.

A total of 36 students, 17.6% of the cohort, achieved an OP1 or ATAR of 99. This number increases to 58 when combined with OP1 equivalents received by students
