​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Secondary Schooling Graduate Programs

In the Education Queensland International Program international students are fully integrated with Australian students. They attend mainstream classes and are expected to complete all classwork, assignments, presentations and assessments. This program involves students from overseas totally immersing themselves in the Australian Education system.

Senior students study towards the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) by the Queensland Studies Authority. The subject selection includes:

Students who complete a full academic program of all semesters of study will be eligible for an ARAR Score. This score is used for entrance to Australian Universities and is internationally recognised.

In the Junior Program, International students in Years 8, 9 and 10 will study core subjects through the new Australian curriculum. Their core program of study will include: English​, Mathematics, Science, History (and Geography), HPE, The Arts (Music, Visual Art, Drama) 

As well as a choice from a large array of technology and elective subjects

Through Years 8, 9 and 10, some choices of subjects are offered allowing students to begin pathway planning for senior subjects and tertiary opportunities.

Study Abroad Programs

International students can attend Mt Gravatt for between three and twelve months for full study. Students select from the full range of subjects available and study with Australian students in mainstream classes.
