Education reforms

Year 7

In 2015, Year 7 will become the first year of high school in Queensland. Read more about Year 7 joining high school in 2015.

Students will be well-supported as they begin Year 7 in high school. Read more about how Queensland state schools will phase-in Junior Secondary for Years 7, 8 and 9.

Additional support will be available for students from families living in geographically isolated areas. Read more about Getting students in rural and remote locations ready for high school.

When will my child start high school?

Australian curriculum

Queensland schools adopted the Australian Curriculum for English, mathematics and science in 2012. The Year 7 reforms will mean that Queensland students will have access to high school specialist teachers, resources and facilities, like students from other states and territories. Read more about the Australian Curriculum.

Boosting performance for all schools

High expectations, even better teaching and improved discipline are essential to boost the performance of our schools and, in turn, the success of our students. Read more about Boosting performance for all schools.
