Senior School

The Senior School curriculum builds upon the solid foundations laid by the academic programme offered in the Junior and Middle Schools.

Year 10

All students are required to study Mathematics, English, Christian Living, Physical Education, Science, Humanities and Futures (a career programme). The remaining academic disciplines of The Performing and Visual Arts, Technology, Business and Languages other than English are covered from a range of elective units.

Senior Secondary

Towards the end of Year 10 students are required to choose a course of study for Years 11 and 12. Various options are available:

• Students may study five or six Authority subjects. The aim is to achieve an OP (Overall Position) issued by the QSA (Queensland Studies Authority) that will enable them to embark on the tertiary course of their choice.
• Students may choose a combination of subjects and Vocational Education courses. By choosing these options students gain a Tertiary Entrance Rank issued by QTAC (Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre), which will allow them to go on to further study at a Tertiary Level (University or TAFE).
• School-Based Traineeships are also available to all students at Senior Secondary level, enabling them to undertake training and paid work in their chosen field whilst still completing their studies at school. After school students can take on full time apprenticeships or move directly into the workplace.

Central to the Queensland Assessment System for Secondary Students is the Queensland Core Skills Test (QCST). This exacting test, made up of four separate papers, and held over two days, is based upon the 49 competencies highlighted by the Queensland curriculum. Students at All Saints attend specialist classes designed to help them succeed in the QCST.
