All students in Queensland are issued with a Senior Education Profile when they complete Year 12. The contents of a student’s senior education profile will vary depending on their learning achievements.

Senior Statement

The Senior Statement is a record of a student’s learning account. It shows the subject they studied and results, which may contribute to the award of a QCE or Tertiary Entrance Statement. Every student who attends school up until the last day of Year 12 will receive a Senior Statement.

Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE)

The QCE is Queensland's senior school qualification. It is awarded to eligible students who achieve a significant amount of learning to a set standard and in a set pattern, while also meeting numeracy and literacy requirements. Students who are not eligible for a QCE at the end of Year 12 have an additional seven years to meet the eligibility requirements.

Tertiary Entrance Statement

If students are eligible for an Overall Position (OP), they will receive a Tertiary Entrance Statement as part of their Senior Education Profile. The Tertiary Entrance Statement shows a student’s OP and FPs. These are used to rank students for admission to tertiary courses.
