Strong improvements in English and maths results in Years 7–9.
Highest school attendance since 2021, with 500,000 more learning days than 2024.
The Crisafulli Government is delivering a fresh start and is focused on improving attendance, lifting results and delivering a world-class education to students.

Queensland students are celebrating a significant year of achievement after receiving their Year 12 results today, while attendance and grades have improved across other year levels.

More than 57,900 Year 12 graduates checked their grades this morning with 93.4% achieving a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and 1192 students receiving a Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement.

About half of eligible Year 12 graduates received an ATAR, with nearly 25% receiving an ATAR of 90 or above.

Despite disruptions caused by significant severe weather events, Queensland state school attendance has risen this year to the highest since 2021 at 87.3 percent, representing about 500,000 additional days of learning.

Schools have recorded strong improvement in report card results (A-E) for English and maths in Years 7-9 from 2024, with some of the highest results in recent years.

The Crisafulli Government is delivering targeted resources to support school communities after a decade of Labor led to declining school attendance.

To help lift literacy and numeracy results, the Crisafulli Government provided new online teaching resources, placed greater emphasis on 2025 being the Year of Reading, and we’re rolling out phonics and numeracy tests in Year 1.

Minister for Education John-Paul Langbroek said the Crisafulli Government was delivering a plan for Queensland’s future by introducing measures to improve attendance and lift results.

“Congratulations to all Year 12 students receiving their results today,” Minister Langbroek said.

“Queensland graduates should be incredibly proud of their achievements, and I want to thank all the parents, teachers, principals and school staff who have supported them along the way.

“All students deserve a world-class education and it’s rewarding to see attendance rising and grades improving in Years 7 to 9.

“This is just the start and it’s rewarding to see such positive results early on - thank you to everyone who makes school a place kids want to come to and do their best.”

Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority Acting CEO, Claude Jones said the class of 2025’s hard work will set them up for future success.

“Today we celebrate the class of 2025 – an inspiring group of young people,” Mr Jones said.

“Many of these young graduates will move on to further education or training, while others are stepping straight into the workforce.

“That’s the strength of the QCE system — it provides opportunities and pathways for all students.”
