Welcome to 2026! It's wonderful to see both familiar faces and new students and staff.
I was incredibly excited, and so were the 100 or so staff who work here. An enormous amount of behind-the-scenes work goes into having our school ready to welcome everyone on Day 1.
How good were our Year 12 results in 2025? If you haven't seen the stats yet, jump onto our Facebook page and take a look!
100% of our Year 12 students graduated with their QCE (senior certificate). Well above the state average of 93.4%.
100% of our Year 12 students left with a Vocational Education Training Certificate. With only a statewide average of 70% managing to do the same.
Based on our calculations, our top ATAR of 98.55 is the highest among all State High Schools in Toowoomba, including those with enrolments four times larger than ours.
Two of our graduates have been accepted into studying medicine pathways. That's right- two more Doctors in the making from Oakey State High School!
Our graduates accepted many wonderful University offers, such as; Bachelor of Education (Secondary), Bachelor of Criminology and Justice, Bachelor of Nursing, and an Associate Degree in Engineering, just to name a few.
We were incredibly proud of our high-achieving graduates, which would not have been possible without the dedication and support of their parents and our staff.
No matter what your pathway may be—whether navy, hairdressing, electrician, or medical doctor—Oakey State High School will help get you there, without the burden of tens of thousands of dollars in school fees.
I want to praise all the parents who have worked with us to support the achievements of our 2025 students, and I am so keen to do the same or better in 2026.
