About the School

Queensland Pathways State College (QPSC) offers a senior transitions program for young people in grades 10 to 12 who face significant barriers in accessing mainstream education. We actively identify, develop and facilitate clear pathways to post-school education, training or employment, while focusing on student-centred learning, student wellbeing, vocational development and community partnerships.

We cater for a diverse range of student needs including young people who have:

•  mental health concerns
•  difficult home lives
•  homelessness
•  poverty
•  social isolation
•  medical conditions
•  behaviour 
•  previous enrolments in multiple schools
•  low literacy/numeracy skills
•  years out of schooling

Our primary focus is to assist in the development of student's literacy and numeracy skills and address the barriers that prevent them from engaging in a mainstream school. QPSC focuses on essential subjects such as literacy, numeracy and workplace skills, while also teaching students how to grow their sense of self through an evidence-based wellbeing program called SWEL (Social skills, Work skills, Emotional skills, and Life skills).

With 9 campuses across Queensland, each location is uniquely designed to meet the specific needs of its community. Our classrooms and learning environments are tailored to promote engagement and motivate students, helping them feel respected, valued, and confident in their academic journey.
