Somerset students excel

19th February 2019

Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington says it is fantastic to see Toogoolawah State High School ranked as the fourth best school in the State by OP results.

Mrs Frecklington said it’s a great result for the school and students, and also shows just what can be achieved in regional areas.

“I have always advocated strongly for regional schools and the amazing results our students and their teachers achieve, often without the resources of the inner-city high schools,” Mrs Frecklington said.

“So it was a proud moment to see Toogoolawah State High School listed as the fourth best school in Queensland for OP results.

“I’d like to congratulate the students and their teachers for this great result and for reminding our city cousins that great things are being achieved in our country high schools.

“And we also have Kilcoy State High School student, Alec Walsh, who was recognised at the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) Achievement Awards for being in the top 30 Academic Achievers from the class of 2018.

“Well done to Alec and Kilcoy State High School. We truly do have some remarkable young people in our region,” Deb said.
