Senior College
Continuing the strong academic focus, the senior years are seen as preparation for life beyond school. The majority of students will be tertiary bound and encounter Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) subjects as they work towards an ATAR. The commencement of senior studies in Year 10 enables students to experience a smooth transition from Middle College to the increasing rigour and demands of study in Year 11 and 12. For a small number of students, partnerships with various training groups and employers will provide access to accreditation in other vocational areas through traineeships and apprenticeships. At the senior level, the emphasis will be on the provision of flexible ways to develop a competitive edge. This may include articulation and partnerships with industry, universities or other training groups, including university programs such as Head Start. Throughout Years 10, 11 and 12 advice from the College's Careers Counsellor and VET Coordinator will assist students to be well prepared for the next phase of their life's journey.

As young adults within the College, senior students will be encouraged to play a leading role both at school and in the wider community. Increasingly, senior students take on the roles of leadership including the support of younger students and their peers through the pastoral care program of the College. Participation and leadership in the co-curricular activities of the College are strongly encouraged.

Bring Your Own Device
The College Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program requires Year 10-12 students to access a personal device. This program aims to support students in their learning and enhance their educational experience at the College. Using their own device, students will use the College’s wireless network in their classes to access our digital learning programs and resources. There are different device specifications which are dependent on the student's year level. Please click here for device specifications for the 2024 curricular year. Please click here for device specifications for the 2025 curricular year.
Devices cannot be purchased outright through the College. However, the College does offer a device leasing program where student devices can be leased from the College over a 3 year agreement. The leasing program payments are processed through student fees each term. On completion of the lease, the device becomes the property of the leasing family. Devices leased through the College are covered by extended Warranty and Accidental Damage Insurance during the lease. The full Terms and Conditions of the leasing program are contained within the device lease request form.

For families who wish to purchase their own device, a purchasing portal has been arranged with JB Hi-Fi which contains a selection of devices approved for use at the College. The selection of devices contained within the JB Hi-Fi purchasing portal is not an exhaustive list, and families are welcome to purchase alternative devices that meet the College hardware device requirements through their preferred retailer or by ordering a device online direct from a manufacturer. Access to the JB Hi-Fi purchasing portal, including the College specific entry code, can be found on the Navigator Parent Portal "Links" page available here.
Please note that the College can only repair devices which are under an active lease agreement. Devices purchased through a retailer will typically need to be returned to the place of purchase for repair, while devices purchased online from a manufacturer will typically need to be sent to an approved repair agent.
