Senior Secondary Curriculum

At Capricornia School of Distance Education (CapSDE), we provide a flexible and supportive learning environment for students in Years 10–12 to achieve their individual goals and pathways.

Year 10 – Preparing for Senior School

Year 10 is a foundation and transition year, designed to prepare students for the rigours of senior secondary studies. Students:

  • Complete a Senior Education and Training (SET) Plan, mapping out their learning and career goals
  • Sample senior subjects, to guide informed choices for Years 11 and 12​
  • Build the knowledge and skills needed to successfully transition to their chosen pathway.

Years 11 and 12 – Personalised Pathways

Students in Years 11 and 12 can choose from a wide range of subjects and programs approved by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA), including:

  • General subjects (university ATAR pathway)
  • Applied subjects (career and employment pathway)
  • Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificates
  • School-based apprenticeships and traineeships (SATs)
  • Work experience programs

We work closely with students and their families to design individual pathways that reflect their interests, strengths, and aspirations. This includes supporting students to achieve a Queensland Certificate of Education, or a Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement. and providing opportunities with external providers and partnerships to extend learning. Our learning programs are approved and drawn from the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority

Our goal is that every student leaves CapSDE with a clear pathway forward—whether into further education, training, or the workforce—backed by the confidence, skills, and qualifications needed for success.​
