Years 10 to 12
The aim of our senior schooling pathways at Chancellor State College is for each student to achieve a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) or Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA). In order to maximise students’ chances of achieving a QCE/QCIA, students and their parents/carers must consider the combination of subjects, student ability levels through meeting pre-requisites, commitment to study and future aspirations when nominating for Years 11 and 12. A thorough Student Education and Training (SETP) planning process is undertaken in Year 10 to maximise students’ opportunites of success in achieving their future pathway.
Senior curriculum
The senior curriculum is organised into faculties:
