Stage 6 – Years 11 and 12

Future Focused

Future Focused

Stage 6 is the culmination of the Calvary learning journey, with a focus on delivering highly specialised and individualised learning pathways. Students have the opportunity to pursue one of three distinct tracks: the ATAR pathway for university preparation, the vocational pathway for traineeships or TAFE-style study, and the applied pathway for entering the workforce. Each pathway equips students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to succeed beyond school, ensuring they graduate as capable and competent members of society.

 

A number of elective subjects in Stage 6 are delivered through multi-age classes, reflecting the collaborative environments students will encounter in both tertiary education and the workplace. These classes also provide the well-documented social-emotional benefits of multi-age learning, fostering teamwork, respect, and a sense of shared achievement.

 

Calvary’s commitment to excellence is supported by a highly skilled teaching team and a range of specialist roles. Our full-time Vocational Education Coordinator guides students through internal traineeship programs and other vocational studies, while our Head of Curriculum supports students pursuing an ATAR pathway, ensuring they achieve strong results and meet the requirements for the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE). 

 

Beyond academics, we focus on educating the whole child. Students engage in leadership opportunities, faith-based groups, and a comprehensive life-skills program that equips them with practical knowledge such as financial literacy, basic cooking skills, and preparation for independent living. These experiences help students develop the confidence and independence they will need as they transition into adulthood.

 

Calvary’s holistic approach ensures that every student graduates not only academically prepared but also grounded in character and faith, ready to contribute to their communities and pursue the greater good in whatever path they choose.
