Year 10 students getting reading for SET Plan Interviews 

During homeroom, our Year 10 students have been preparing for their SET Plan Interview. Students have completed an online Morrisby career profiling quiz to help identify their strengths, interests, and possible career pathways, and developed a Career Action Plan to assist them with reflecting on their goals, skills, and aspirations to assist with deciding on their senior subjects. The Career Action Plan will be available at the SET Plan Interviews next week. 

Year 12 students applying to study at university in 2026

QTAC Applications 

The Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) is responsible for managing the undergraduate university and tertiary education admissions process in Queensland.  

Queensland Year 12 students can begin their QTAC Application for courses commencing in 2026  from Tuesday 5 August. Students will need to:

• create a QTAC Account; and
• register to access their ATAR in the ATAR Portal

To stay informed about key dates and receive timely reminders, students can sign up for QTAC’s Remind Me service. Sign up now to go in the draw to win prizes such as Google Nests, Beats Headphones and more.

JCU Early Offer program 

JCU’s Early Offer program is a pathway to give students some peace of mind knowing they have a place at university next year, and is one less thing to stress about during exam time. The offer they receive will be “conditional” – basically, this means it comes with conditions. For example, an offer might be conditional on achieving a certain ATAR or completing specific subjects. Students considering applying for an early offer are encouraged to make an appointment to discuss with Miss Tebble.

Townsville Careers Expo – Year 10, 11 & 12 Students Explore Future Pathways

We recently took about 80 of our Year 10, 11 and 12 students to the Townsville Careers Expo. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to explore a wide range of careers, employment and training opportunities, and talk with employers and industry, education and training providers, and apprenticeship and traineeship agencies. A big thank you to our students who represented the school so positively throughout the day — your enthusiasm, curiosity, and excellent behaviour made us proud.
