Our Senior School – Years 7 to 12

Senior school is intentionally designed to provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment for each child as they move through their adolescence.

The curriculum creates a supportive and engaging learning environment while promoting acceptance, belonging and creativity from all students as they learn about themselves as individuals and as part of the wider community.

Our senior school students’ learning continues to be organised around the key learning areas of the Australian Curriculum. They continue their studies in core subjects (English, Mathematics, Science and HASS) while extending their exposure to more specialist subjects in HPE, The Arts, Hospitality and Design Technology.

In the senior years (10-12), students begin mapping out their individual learning pathway as the foundation for life beyond school. Our flexible curriculum pathways allow the students to define their path towards vocational options, tertiary study and/or employment. Starting with the SET plan in Year 10, the College works in partnership with students and their families to define their plan of action for the senior years. The senior education and training plan (SET) provides the foundation for each student’s Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA). Our teachers and allied health professionals collaborate with families to determine each student’s transition-out plan to see that our students can articulate life beyond learning at Mancel College.
