This course falls under the field of education '12 - Mixed Field Programmes', specifically '1201 - General Education Programmes' and '120101 - General Primary and Secondary Education Programmes'. The Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (often referred to as the QCE in Queensland) typically involves a broad curriculum covering English, mathematics, science, humanities, and elective subjects. Students develop critical thinking, research, and communication skills. While the exact syllabus is determined by the provider, graduates of this level are generally prepared for tertiary study or direct entry into the workforce. It is important to confirm specific subjects and assessment methods directly with St Laurence's College.
According to the CRICOS register, the course duration is 2 years (104 weeks). The language of instruction is English. This is a single qualification course, meaning it does not lead to a dual award. There is no VET national code as this is not a vocational course. Students are expected to attend full-time on-campus classes at the delivery location.
Tuition for this course is A$76,100, with non-tuition fees of A$48,286, giving an estimated total of A$124,386. These figures are indicative, sourced from the CRICOS register as at April 2026, and are set by the provider. They do not include Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), living costs, or the visa application charge. For the most current fees and a detailed breakdown, please visit the official website of Edmund Rice Education Australia Colleges Ltd at www.slc.qld.edu.au.
International students typically need an English proficiency of IELTS 5.0–5.5 overall or equivalent. Prior qualifications expected include completion of Year 10 or equivalent. The provider may require additional assessments or interviews. For students who do not meet the direct entry requirements, the provider may offer foundation or pathway programs — contact St Laurence's College directly for options. Always verify specific entry criteria with the institution before applying.
This course does not include a mandatory work component. However, international students on a Student visa (Subclass 500) can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during term and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks, subject to visa conditions.
The course is delivered at St Laurence's College — South Brisbane, QLD. South Brisbane is a vibrant inner-city suburb of Brisbane, home to a significant student population. The area offers excellent public transport links, including train and bus services, to the broader Brisbane area.

Living costs in Brisbane are generally lower than in Sydney or Melbourne, with indicative weekly rent for a share house around $200–$350, groceries $70–$100, and public transport $30–$50.
To study this course, international students need a Student visa (Subclass 500). As the course is for years 11 and 12, students under 18 may require a Student Guardian visa (Subclass 590) if a parent or guardian accompanies them. Applicants must meet the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement, provide evidence of financial capacity, and maintain Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of their stay.
