Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE)
The Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) is Queensland’s senior secondary schooling qualification, internationally recognised and providing evidence of senior schooling achievements. To be awarded a QCE, students must accumulate 20 credits from various learning options, including QCAA subjects or courses, vocational education and training qualifications, and recognised studies. These credits must be earned at a set standard, in a set pattern, while also meeting literacy and numeracy requirements. Planning for the QCE typically begins in Year 10, when schools collaborate with students and their parents or carers to develop a Senior Education and Training (SET) plan or equivalent. This plan tailors the student’s learning to their abilities, interests, and ambitions, mapping out their pathway to achieving the QCE. The flexibility of the QCE allows students to choose from a wide range of subjects and courses that align with their interests, further study, and career goals. For more detailed information about the QCE, including eligibility criteria and planning resources, visit the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority’s official page.
Vocational & Academic Pathways
At Cathedral, we are committed to guiding students through their educational journey, ensuring they are well-prepared for university, vocational education, or direct employment. In Years 11 and 12, students have the opportunity to tailor their studies to align with their future aspirations. Our comprehensive curriculum, expert career counselling, and a variety of academic and vocational subjects help students achieve their goals.
By offering pathways such as the ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank), VET (Vocational Education and Training), and customised university preparation programs, we support each student in navigating the transition from secondary education to their chosen future successfully. Our dedicated staff and resources are here to help every student reach their full potential, whether they aim for university, further vocational education, or immediate employment.
Many students at Cathedral graduate with a range of certificates and qualifications from external providers, in addition to their QCE. Our dedicated Pathways Manager / Careers Adviser can customise a program for each individual, allowing for an unlimited range of pathways for all senior students:
