Rationale
The Victoria Point
State High School Academy is specifically targeted at supporting students who
have expressed interest and can demonstrate targeted skills in a specialised
field of study.
The Victoria Point
State High School Academy aims to create intensive and focused pathways for
potential futures, create an environment of motivation, engagement and success,
and develop skills and opportunities for students to work with industry
professionals and collaborate with the local and wider community in order to
build deeper knowledge, skills, training and experience.
The Academy Programs
run across Years 7 – 9, and transition in Year 10 to align senior subjects with
their chosen pathway. In Years 11 – 12 students may choose to follow either a
QCE+ATAR or a QCE Pathway.
Students are enriched
through the breadth of study, relevance of assessment tasks and through
engagement in highly skilled practices. Students are reported on during all
reporting periods, parental communication provided during Parent/Teacher
interviews and data tracking at each term juncture.
Application to enrol
Students must apply to be enrolled in an Academy. An application package may be collected from Administration reception or a request sent via email:
