Senior Schooling refers to Years 10 - 12.
Senior Education and Training (SET) Planning
Senior pathway planning starts in Year 10, when schools work with students and their parents/carers to develop and Senior Education and Training (SET) plan or equivalent.
A SET plan helps students structure their learning around their abilities, interests and ambitions. It details what, where and how students will study in Years 11 and 12.
In 2019 Queensland introduced a new Senior Assessment and Tertiary Entrance program for Senior students. Information about this system is available on the Queensland Assessment and Curriculum Authority (QCAA) website. The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is a number between 0.00 and 99.95 in increments of 0.05. It is derived from achievement across a broad range of learning achievements using a process of inter-subject scaling.

Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA)
The Queensland certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA) recognises and reports the achievements of students whose learning is part of an individual learning program during senior secondary schooling.
The QCIA is an official record for students who have completed at least 12 years of education; it provides students with a summary of knowledge and skills demonstrated. The QCIA records educational achievement in two ways- the Statement of Achievement and Statement of Participation. These are useful to present to service providers, training providers and employers.

Access arrangements and reasonable adjustments (AARA) are designed to assist these students.
Access arrangements are action/s taken by the school so that a student with an eligible impairment that may not be covered by the definition of disability can access assessment.
Reasonable adjustments are action/s taken by the school so that a student with an eligible impairment as a result of a disability and/or medical condition and experiencing other circumstances creating a barrier to the completion of assessment can be assessed.
