Results

The 2009 Year 12 Accounting Competition was a huge success with 424 students from throughout Queensland taking part. Student results were graded as Distinction, Credit and Participation. There were 35 Distinctions and 82 Credits awarded.

The overall winner of the Academic Excellence in Accounting medallion was Douglas Evans from Centenary Heights State High School. Medallions will also be presented to Juliet Affum of Brisbane State High School and Angela Harding of Mountain Creek State High School. Certificates were posted to the schools at the end of term 2.

The Accounting Competition was very successful and I believe students gained so much from it. My entire class wanted to do this competition, I was really amazed by that. Many thanks and I will certainly be doing it again next year. Business Teacher

It is disappointing that while the paper states that the Board's work is guided by the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals of Young Australians there is no mention about our learning area in the paper. We will be discussing this issue at the BEA AGM and Council Meeting in July and will let you know the outcome of that discussion.
