Job details

Queensland Pathways State College is state high school that specialises in supporting young people aged 15 to 18 (minimum grade 10), who have significant barriers to attending mainstream education, ensuring all students can succeed. 

QPSC delivers a 12-month senior transitions program for vulnerable students, wanting to complete their senior studies, however, have found it difficult to succeed in mainstream school settings.  Many of our students have experienced anxiety, depression, homelessness or trauma.  By developing a safe and supportive environment, these students are able to achieve their goals and positively move into pathways of further learning (TAFE or university) or employment.

Our curriculum delivery has a strong focus on literacy, numeracy, workplace skills and wellbeing. Our positive teaching approach creates a respectful, trusting and calm environment.  Students are able to achieve a QCE, however, we also investigate alternative pathways into tertiary studies.  Teaching staff will be upskilled in all areas of curriculum delivery.

The culture at QPSC is learner-centred, inclusive, and purpose-driven. We work with young people who may not have thrived in traditional school settings, so there's a strong focus on building trust, fostering belonging, and supporting individual pathways. Staff are compassionate, flexible, and collaborative — always looking for creative ways to re-engage students and help them succeed academically, personally, and vocationally.
