​​​Senior Years of Schooling

​​​​The Department of Education website is your gateway to Senior schooling information which may be helpful to Queensland students. 

Please refer to the following handbooks for more information on subject selections for Senior Secondary:

Senior Secondary Certificate

In Queensland, Senior Secondary students work towards the attainment of either the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) or the Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA). More information is available on the Department of Education​ website. 

Senior Secondary Assessment and Tertiary Entrance Systems

 A new Senior assessment system (known as the new Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) system) and a new tertiary entrance system commenced in 2019 for Queensland students who entered Year 11. More information is available on the Department of Education ​ website. 

The new systems comprise:

  • a new Senior assessment model that combines school-based assessment with external assessment together with new processes to strengthen the quality and comparability of school-based assessment 
  • the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)—the replacement of the Overall Position (OP) tertiary rank.​

Implementation of the new systems

Information and resources are available for schools, students and parents/carers to learn more about the new Senior syllabuses, and new assessment processes on the QCAA website .​
