Queensland Pathways State College (QPSC) at the Townsville Campus offers a senior transitions program for young people in grades 10 to 12 who face significant barriers in accessing mainstream education. With a focus on student-centred learning, student wellbeing, vocational development, and community partnerships, QPSC actively identifies, develops, and facilitates clear pathways to post-school education, training, or employment. The college recognizes the importance of mainstream schools but provides an alternative for adolescents who require additional support and a specialized environment to stay engaged in their education.
QPSC’s enrolment eligibility process ensures that students who are not accepted into the program are referred to their nearest state high school to complete their senior years. The college emphasizes the importance of regular school attendance and offers resources such as the QParents app to help keep the school community safe. Additionally, QPSC acknowledges the significance of year-round sun protection for all children and young people, promoting a holistic approach to student welfare and safety.
Through a commitment to fostering student success and providing tailored support, QPSC aims to empower young individuals to overcome educational barriers and achieve their academic and career goals. By offering a specialized program for students facing challenges in mainstream education, QPSC plays a vital role in creating inclusive pathways to post-school opportunities and ensuring that every student has the chance to thrive academically and professionally.
