In
2015, Year 7 became the first year of high school in Queensland. At
Flagstone State Community College, extensive community consultation has led to
the development of our Junior Secondary Model which was implemented
across the three years of Junior Secondary. Our model provides for a distinct Junior Secondary environment
on campus and leadership opportunities for all students in Year 7, 8 and
9.
Student
wellbeing and quality teaching are the core of our model. Research shows students
learn best and are better engaged and have a greater chance of successfully
completing school when their wellbeing is optimised. Therefore, our model seeks to
respond to the developmental as well as the educational needs of young
adolescents and provide a smooth transition from primary to secondary
school.
Subject selection process
State schools ensure that students in Year 9 develop a JET Plan in partnership with their parents. The JET plan is a compulsory, key component of a school’s career education program. It maps out a plan of action to put students on track for success in senior secondary, post-school education and work.
Flagstone SCC will be conducting JET Plan interviews with a parent and their student on the following dates in 2025:
Bookings can be made via our online booking system External link. Instructions External link are available to assist parents to make bookings. JETP interviews are approximately 30 minutes.
For new students, subject selection will be organised during the enrolment process.
