“We congratulate our Flinders graduates, from the high achievers to the countless students whose efforts surpassed their own aspirations,” Stuart said.
“Each student has a story to tell of his or her academic journey at Flinders. They are all important, as the processes and approach undertaken by each student informs their future path as much as their final result,” he said.
“I also acknowledge the teachers, Heads of Department, Heads of House and mentors for their support and guidance of our students.
“Each staff member has played a part in developing in our graduates a love of learning and generosity of spirit which will be carried into the next stage of their lives.
“I wish every student in the Class of 2022 success in all you choose to do. We will watch your future with interest, and I thank you for your many and varied contributions to Flinders.”
Head of Senior School Mr Gary Davis recognised the Flinders Class of 2022 were the Senior students most affected by the pandemic over the past three years.
“Our Flinders Class of 2022 is a wonderful group who have managed through adversity - COVID, 2022 flood and weather events, and illness,” Gary said.
“They are an exceptional group who support each other and push each other at the higher end of the academic pyramid,” he said.
“The Class of 2022 are well set for future success and should be very proud of their final results.”
The Class of 2022 median ATAR of 92.45 builds on the success of the Class of 2021’s median ATAR of 92.35.

Please note:
Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATAR) are calculated and released by the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC).
The decision for students to share their ATAR result with their schools is optional and schools will only get access to the individual ATARs of their former Year 12 students where consent has been granted by those students when registering in the ATAR Portal.
Due to this option, full and complete data on individual school ATAR results for their students cannot be guaranteed.
