Summary

Preparing students for the twenty-first century workplace demands an educational environment that is reflective of today’s society. With our exceptional curriculum, innovative programs and extensive opportunities, Toowoomba Anglican School is in a unique position to successfully guide our students towards a bright future.

With small cohorts, Toowoomba Anglican School secondary students experience a personalised approach to their learning needs. A strong tertiary pathways and careers program allows students to experience different areas of the workforce or courses at university to fully realise their future options.

Students undertake subjects designed to fully inform them of their strengths and challenges within the key learning areas. For example, in the English learning area students undertake the subjects Creative Writing, Literature and Language, instead of just one English Subject. Similarly, the students undertake specialised Mathematics and Science courses.

The school finds that students become more aware of how each learning area sits within the world and keeps the students engaged. It also gives teachers the opportunity to provide more robust and specific feedback to both students and parents.

Flexible Curriculum

An area of focus as the students move through the Secondary Years is that of providing a flexible curriculum. What that looks like for one student is very different for another. Being intimate in size allows for flexibility in the way in which the programs and opportunities can be timetabled allowing for students to find success.

Many of our students are willing and excited about learning things beyond the standard Australian Curriculum. Many of these areas are integrated into the curriculum, whereas others are facilitated by outside expertise. We support any of our students who wish to combine a more traditional academic load with an Individual Pathway that is accessed externally.

Year 11 & 12: The Senior Years

In the senior years, students have full autonomy in their subject choice and choose subjects that will prepare them for the journey ahead to getting their final Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) score and Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).

The transition from Year 10 to Year 11 offers a positive challenge for students. More responsibility rests with the student and regular study is essential if success is to be achieved. Students in Years 11 and 12 will select six subjects from the list of subjects designed to cater for the full range of student interests and abilities. It is compulsory to study one English subject and at least one of the Mathematics subjects at Toowoomba Anglican School.

During exam periods or when there is a high workload, students may choose to utilise our daily or temporary boarding options.
