Our High School Curriculum
Inspiring Excellence Through Faith and Learning
King’s Christian College delivers a high school curriculum aligned with the Australian Curriculum, under the oversight of the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), and informed by the guidance of Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ). This framework ensures that our program maintains national academic standards while supporting students' personal growth and character development.
The curriculum provides a structured combination of core subjects and electives that develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and practical skills. From Years 7 to 12, learning is designed to progressively cultivate independence, responsibility, and resilience, preparing students for success in senior studies, tertiary education, vocational pathways, and active, meaningful participation in the wider community.
In Years 7 and 8, students study a complete program of subjects that establishes a solid foundation and introduces a wide range of learning areas. This prepares them to make informed and confident elective choices in Years 9 and 10.

Year 10 at King's is a purposeful step towards senior schooling. Through a range of year-long electives, students are encouraged to explore diverse subject areas, uncover their strengths, and sample before they specialise. This exploratory approach ensures that every student enters Years 11 and 12 with a clear, informed direction for their individualised pathway to graduation.
Work Experience Program
Every Year 10 student participates in a week-long Work Experience placement at the end of Term 3. This authentic workplace immersion delivers valuable insights into career possibilities, builds confidence in professional settings, and guides informed senior subject selections.

Years 11 and 12 is the phase that the cognitive, physical, emotional and social skills acquired thus far are brought to maturity. This process enables students to become successful and productive Christian leaders/participants in the community through:
- engaging students in a rigorous academic program. While English and Mathematics remain compulsory core subjects, students select four other subjects to construct a six-subject program, allowing them to tailor their academic experience to achieve their goals.
- providing opportunities to enter university courses for a semester in Years 11 and 12.
- providing opportunities for students to study courses other than those offered at school. These would include traineeships and certificate courses in Years 11 and 12.
Curriculum
King's senior school students follow the internationally recognised Queensland Certificate Education (QCE) system under the direction of the Queensland Curriculum & Assessment Authority (QCAA).
King's is also advised by Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ).
Academic Environment
In Years 11 and 12, students will work with increasing independence and responsibility. Initiative, resilience and decision-making will become essential skills during this phase. Bringing these attributes to maturity and combining them with spiritual growth will prepare students for the future, whether that is in tertiary studies or in the workforce.
Subject Selection
The subjects listed below are available to King’s students in Years 11 and 12. All students undertake studies in English, Mathematics, and Christian Studies.

Learning Options for Every Student
Purposefully Designed Individualised Pathways
Our experienced careers team works closely with students and families to design pathways that champion individual strengths, interests, and aspirations. Whether the goal is medicine, a trade, creative industries, or entrepreneurship, we provide the guidance and opportunities needed to achieve the vision.
A confident future starts with informed choices and tailored pathways for each student, whether through traditional ATAR, Vocational Education and Training (VET), a combination of both, or a focused Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) pathway. The ATAR is a numerical ranking out of 99.95 used by universities to determine entry eligibility, and many vocational qualifications are now recognised as ATAR equivalents, meaning they can meet the same entry requirements.
ATAR Pathway
For students pursuing university entrance through academic achievement, our comprehensive ATAR program offers five or six General subjects designed to maximise your child's potential. This pathway provides the rigorous academic foundation needed for competitive university courses whilst maintaining flexibility to include Applied subjects to align with interests.
Combined ATAR & VET Pathway
This innovative approach combines four or five General subjects with Certificate or Diploma qualifications, allowing students to pursue university entrance whilst gaining practical industry skills. Students graduate with both an ATAR and nationally recognised qualifications, providing multiple entry points to their chosen career and a competitive edge in both university and employment.
VET Pathway
Designed for students seeking direct workforce entry or specialised vocational training, this pathway combines five subjects with Certificate or Diploma qualifications. Many universities now accept these vocational achievements as ATAR equivalents, ensuring students maintain access to higher education whilst developing industry-ready skills.
QCE Pathway
Tailored for students working towards their Queensland Certificate of Education, this pathway provides a program of mostly applied subjects designed to develop real-world knowledge and practical skills. Students have the option to complement their studies with a Certificate II qualification, offering valuable vocational experience and a solid foundation for workforce entry or further training opportunities.
ATAR Pathway
Students are equipped with the academic foundation, critical thinking skills, and personal discipline to pursue their university aspirations with confidence.
ATAR Excellence
Vocational Education & Training Pathway
Students gain nationally recognised qualifications within the timetable, graduating with practical skills and industry credentials that open doors to diverse careers and further study.
