Senior Secondary
Welcome to Senior Secondary, a journey of discovery where students define more purposefully and specifically what they would like to pursue after school. For some students, this may involve further study, an apprenticeship, or another vocational pathway. Here at the College, we support students through a number of external pathways to ensure they are able to gain the most from their time learning with us. Students are able to take an external course, with the TAFE at School program. Students who demonstrate the ability to study consistently and independently are able to expand their range of options by taking a subject through Brisbane School of Distance Education. Our smaller class sizes allow for more individualised learning opportunities and we are always willing to help our students achieve their goals.
