Matthew Flinders Anglican College has a proven record of academic excellence. We proudly maintain our position as a leading school on the Sunshine Coast and one of the top independent schools in Queensland.

In 2022, Flinders topped the Sunshine Coast region in both Primary and Secondary School NAPLAN results.

And the graduating Class of 2022 achieved strong ATAR results, with a median score of 92.45.

This strong reputation is a reflection of our students who are motivated to learn and excel. It’s also a credit to our teachers who inspire curiosity and confidence, and our greater College community who uphold strong values, and provide support and care for our students in a myriad of ways. 

No ‘typical’ Flinders student

While academic standards and student motivation levels at Flinders are high, there is no ‘typical’ Flinders student. Our teaching staff are a talented and diverse group of professionals who support and challenge each child in their own unique talents, interests and learning needs. Flinders students share a common desire: They aim to excel in learning and life, and to be part of a community of learners, supporting one another and working together to realise their full potential.

National Assessment Outcomes

Year 12 students at Flinders consistently achieve strong final results.

Our College community proudly guided and supported our Class of 2022 through the third year of the new ATAR system. In 2022 there were 10 Flinders students who achieved an ATAR of 99 or above, and a further 11 students who achieved an ATAR of 98 or above. Meanwhile, 38.3% of eligible students achieved an ATAR greater than 95.

There was also one student, Laura Webb, who achieved the highest ATAR possible of 99.95 in 2022. She was one of only 33 students in Queensland to achieve this top score. This is the third consecutive year a Flinders student has achieved the top 99.95 ATAR score, a remarkable achievement!

Flinders is also committed to guiding our students through the National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). In 2022, Flinders was named the top NAPLAN Primary and Secondary School on the Sunshine Coast, with all students in all domains across Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 achieving above the national average score.

Principal Stuart Meade said it was encouraging to see Flinders students attain high levels of literacy and numeracy.

"We appreciate that the NAPLAN is only one measure among a number of measures we use to constantly review and refine our curriculum and our teaching and learning programs," Mr Meade said. "It highlights the exceptional quality of our teachers, the high level of engagement of our students and the benefits of our strong commitment to using research to inform our teaching.”
