In 2013 the Secondary Department implemented Australian Curriculum Phase 1 subjects: English, Mathematics, Science and History.

Subject selections for the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) are studied over Year 11 and 12.
Subjects at senior level reflect the current aspirations of the senior cohort of the school and follow studies at junior level.

Students study 3 core subjects, select one elective and undertake a VET line of study to accrue 20 credit points towards their QCE.

Students are expected to complete a traineeship or apprenticeship. This has been designed as a compulsory component of the senior program to encourage senior students to explore career opportunities beyond school, and as a fundamental component to achieving the necessary points towards their QCE.
