    Minister for Education and Minister for Industrial Relations The Honourable Grace Grace Queensland’s top Year 12 graduates announced Education Minister Grace Grace has today congratulated the state’s top Year 12 graduates from the class of 2018 at the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) Achievement Awards. “These annual awards are a fantastic opportunity to recognise the hard work and achievement of our top students, as well as the teachers and families who supported them,” Ms Grace said. “In 2018, close to 49,000 young Queenslanders received a QCE. They have now turned their focus to entering university, starting a trade or moving straight into the workforce,” Ms Grace said. Ms Grace said the top award of Outstanding Academic Achiever went to Maya Lamont who attended Indooroopilly State High School. Maya received a certificate, trophy, and $5000. “Maya’s extraordinary Year 12 results placed her ahead of more than 51,000 of her peers,” Ms Grace said. “She achieved exceptionally highly in all her school subjects, the Queensland Core Skills Test, tertiary entrance ranking, and in a philosophy subject at university. “Maya hopes to work in environmental law or government in the future and advocate for causes she’s passionate about. “This year Maya will study Arts and law at The University of Queensland. “I congratulate Maya and commend the wonderfully supportive learning environment at Indooroopilly State High School that helped her to flourish.” QCAA chief executive officer Chris Rider said the awards highlighted the strength of senior schooling in Queensland. “The award winners attended 23 different state and non-state schools,” Mr Rider said.

  • SQ Question on Notice
    Senate Committee: Education and Employment QUESTION ON NOTICE Budget Estimates 2017 - 2018 Outcome: Schools and Youth Department of Education and Training Question No. SQ17-000687 Senator Collins, Jacinta asked on 01 June 2017, Proof Hansard page 118 List of schools on the agreements currently Question Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Would I be able to find anywhere the list of schools that are on the agreements currently? Mr Cook: I do not think they are public. They were agreements between the then minister for education and each of the heads of the Catholic or—they will be in the department; I just do not think they are public, that is all. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Is there a problem with making those lists available? Mr Cook: I cannot imagine. Maybe I could take it on notice and see whether there is. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: I am just trying to ascertain whether they might be available before I talk to Christian Schools Australia over the next couple of days, but it sounds like that might not be the case. Mr Cook: They are probably archived, because they are 2013 documents, so we would have to actually go off site to get them, I imagine. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: If you could attempt to do that before you appear on the next occasion that would be useful. Mr Cook: Happy to take that on notice Answer From 2014 to 2017 the Students First Support Fund provides non-government representative bodies with funding to undertake projects and provide targeted support services to non-government schools in relation to the Australian Government’s education priorities.
