Almost 34% of our teachers hold a tertiary qualification at Masters level or higher.
In addition, 74% of our teachers and leaders have two or more tertiary qualifications.
Our Professional Learning Framework encourages goal setting aligned with the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership Professional Standards for Teachers.
Staff are encouraged and supported into leadership roles, with many regularly attending professional development sessions, leadership programs or undertaking additional study. We offer a tailored ‘Learning to Lead’ program to staff which is designed to explore a context-specific approach to leadership and deliver a range of learning activities over 18 months.
More than one quarter of our staff have completed this program. In addition, several staff have completed or are aspiring to complete the Independent Schools Queensland Highly Accomplished and Lead Teacher Program.
Senior School teachers are actively involved with QCAA through the preparation, administration and marking of external exams. Our Year 12 teachers are engaged with QCAA in ATAR moderation roles.
