Queensland is the only place in the world where students have the opportunity to dive on the Great Barrier Reef, collect research specimens from ancient tropical rainforests, trace the tracks of dinosaurs in the Outback, and participate in cutting edge medical research or experience Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture as part of their studies.
Queensland schools are world leaders in applying technology to education. Technology such as computers, internet access and multimedia materials are a part of everyday learning. At a Queensland school, students will be given every opportunity to be part of the global education community. Queensland offers a wide choice of both government and non-government schools. Whether one is looking for a boarding school, a religious school, a school in one of Queensland's vibrant regional areas, a school for girls only, boys only or both boys and girls, Queensland can offer the right choice.
All schools offer English, mathematics, science, arts, technology and languages. Students will also have a diverse range of additional subjects to choose from, such as graphic design, music, catering, accountancy and multimedia studies.
