At Rockhampton State High School, we recognise that every student has unique strengths, aspirations and pathways to success. Our Senior School program provides flexible academic and vocational opportunities that prepare students for further study, training, employment and lifelong learning.
Through personalised support and pathway planning, students are empowered to make informed decisions about their future while developing the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to achieve their goals.
Supporting Student Success
The Senior Schooling team is based in the Senior Learning Centre and includes the Head of Department Senior Schooling, Student support officer and FEET First Staff.
Together, they provide support in areas such as:
- Subject selection and pathway planning
- Queensland Certificate of Education Monitoring (QCE)
- Career Education and university pathways
- Vocational Education and Training (VET)
- School-based apprenticeships and traineeships
- Work experience opportunities
- Resume writing, job applications and interview preparation
- Student wellbeing and engagement
Senior Education and Training (SET) plans
All students develop a Senior Education and Training Plan by the end of year 10 in partnership with their family and the school. The SET plan helps students identify their goals and create a pathway that supports success throughout years 11 and 12 and beyond.
Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE)
The QCE is Queensland's senior secondary qualification and is awarded to students who successfully meet the require learning, literacy and numeracy standards. Students can achieve QCE credits through a combination of school subjects, vocational education and training qualifications.
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
Students pursuing university pathways may be eligible for an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). ATAR eligibility is determined through a combination of senior subject results, and where applicable, approved vocational qualifications, in accordance with Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) and Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) requirements.
At Rockhampton State High School, we are committed to helping every student build a pathway that leads to future success, whether that pathway includes university, vocational training, apprenticeships, employment or other post-school opportunities.
