Middle School Curriculem
In Year 8 students study a foundation unit which is designed to ensure that they are equipped with the skills they need to be more productive in all their other subject areas.

In Years 9 and 10 students can further develop their skills in both information technology and business by choosing one or more subjects which focus on introducing them to business understanding and developing their computer skills and applications, including spreadsheeting. These can be explored further by clicking on the link to the Subject Handbook. Education Queensland has introduced Essential Learnings and the middle school curriculum is reviewed annually to reflect departmental requirements. Year 10 IT studies centre around the completion of a Certificate I in IT. Successful completion allows students to gain up to 2 credits on their QCE.
