During Year 9/10 students undertake transition preparation by completing their PATH Plans (Planning Alternate Tomorrows with Hope). This planning is collaboratively done with school personnel and family members to support the transition to post school options which may include day programs, accessing the community with a carer, work, volunteering and supported or independent living.
Once students enter our Senior School sector for Years 11 and 12, their Individual Curriculum Plan reflects their intentions and interests in post-school opportunities. They work towards attaining the Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA) accessing literacy and numeracy activities, hands-on work experiences, Community Based Learning and Certificate courses where appropriate through Vocational Education.
