The Brisbane Boys’ College Class of 2024 has achieved magnificent results in their QCE examinations.
Our students should be incredibly proud of these excellent results. These achievements are a testament to their remarkable dedication and the diligent support of their passionate teachers.
Top Students in Queensland
We are incredibly proud to share that Alexander Fung and Junpeng Huang have each been awarded a Distinguished Academic Achiever Award. This ranks Alexander and Junpeng among the Top 35 students in Queensland.
This award is presented to students who, in being awarded a QCE, demonstrate exceptionally high achievement across a diverse range of learning options, including a General English and a General Mathematics subject.
Alexander and Junpeng are joint Duxes for the Class of 2024.
Explanation of Results
Typically, BBC Seniors undertake six academic subjects studied across Years 11 and 12. Students who take part in our Advanced Study Program often complete a senior subject in Years 10 or 11, allowing them to undertake additional courses or university classes as part of their senior studies.
QCE results are based on three Internal Assessments (IA) and one External Assessment (EA) for each of a student’s subjects, the results of which are then combined to create an overall score out of 100 for each subject. The weighting of IAs and EAs is different for each subject. For example, Physics EAs are worth 50 percent of a student’s grade, whereas, in English, EAs account for 25 percent of a student’s grade.
Based on this combined score, each student is also awarded a grade from A to E.
The Class of 2024 received their Internal Assessment results in Term 4. Yesterday, they received their External Assessment results, subject scores, and A to E grades.
