Academic Results
Our girls achieve excellence, year after year.
Our girls consistently achieve formidable results in the HSC and IB Diploma, reflecting the quality of teaching and deep culture of learning at Queenwood.
We are academically non-selective and yet our results reliably place us in the top few such schools in the State.
We congratulate those who have achieved outstanding results as judged against their peers, and equally those who have achieved outstanding results as judged against themselves. Our students gain entry to a wide range of courses at universities and institutions in Australia and overseas, and examinations are important as a passport to further inspiring possibilities.
"The teachers here are all so supportive and care a lot about us.
They are unfailingly dedicated and put effort into making sure we achieve what we strive for.
I was drawn to IB since the start of high school, since knowing Queenwood offered it. IB suited my approach to learning – a well-rounded course that requires rigour in all academic areas, rather than specialisation in one subject area. I was happy with the subjects I could take in IB and I was prepared for the heavier workload. Many people say the IB allows students to be better prepared for some universities, especially overseas, which I am interested in.”
