As we move towards all Tasmania high schools offering opportunities for year 11/12 students, Queechy has begun planning for a commencement in 2021.
Staff from all the urban high schools and both colleges have been working together over the last few months to plan the implementation of a region-wide approach to year 11 and 12.
At the beginning of 2020 we will be working closely with students and families from our year 9 cohort to investigate possible subject offerings for a year 11 program at Queechy in 2021.
We are still invested in ensuring as many students as possible continue on to Launceston and Newstead Colleges and this won’t change.
For some students the transition to college is still a step too far, so there will be an opportunity for them to continue at Queechy as they develop their skills and confidence to succeed in a college environment or the workforce.
Our ultimate goal is to have 100% of our students on one of the following pathways:

• Full time at either Launceston or Newstead College
• Full time at Queechy
• Part time at Queechy and part time at college
• At a neighbouring high school offering an appropriate year 11 course
• Full time apprenticeship or traineeship
• Attending an approved provider such as TAFE
• Working at least 35 hrs per week

We are trying to be as creative as we can to meet the multitude of needs of our students across the Launceston region.
Parent information and feedback sessions will be run early in 2020 for all interested parents to attend.
