Senior Secondary Years 11-12 falls under the field of education 'General Primary and Secondary Education Programmes' (120101), a subset of Mixed Field Programmes. This level provides a broad general education that prepares students for higher education, employment, or further training. Students typically study a mix of core subjects such as English, mathematics, science, and humanities, along with electives that suit their interests and career goals. The curriculum is designed to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. While specific syllabi are set by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) or the provider, this course is structured to meet the requirements for the Senior Secondary Certificate of Education. As a CRICOS-registered program, it adheres to Australian education quality standards and the ESOS Act protections.
The course is registered for 2 years (104 weeks full-time) on the CRICOS register. All instruction is in English, and it is a single qualification (no dual or foundation component). The study mode is typically on-campus at Citipointe Christian College in Carindale, Queensland. Students are expected to attend classes during the school term, with breaks aligned to the academic calendar. This duration allows students to fully immerse in the Australian education system and meet the requirements for the Senior Secondary Certificate of Education. The program is not a VET course, so no VET national code applies.
The indicative tuition fee for Senior Secondary Years 11-12 is A$74,920, with non-tuition fees estimated at A$74,462, bringing the estimated total to A$149,382. These fees are set by Christian Outreach Centre and sourced from the CRICOS register as at April 2026. Please note that these are indicative only and subject to change. Additional costs not included are Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), living expenses, and the visa application charge. For current fees, always check the provider's website: www.citipointe.qld.edu.au. International students should budget for living costs in Brisbane, which average around A$500–$600 per week for rent, food, and transport. As noted on our OSHC page, health cover is mandatory for student visa holders.
Applicants must demonstrate English proficiency, typically an IELTS score of 5.0–5.5 overall or equivalent (e.g., TOEFL, PTE). Prior academic qualifications should be at a level appropriate for senior secondary study, such as completion of Year 10 or equivalent. Christian Outreach Centre may have additional requirements, including academic records, references, or an interview. Since this is a school-level course, students under 18 may also need guardian arrangements. For those who do not meet the English requirement, foundation or pathway options may be available – please refer to the provider for specific details. Always confirm entry requirements directly with the institution before applying.
This course does not include a mandatory work component. However, student visa holders (Subclass 500) may work up to 48 hours per fortnight during term time and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks. Work is not part of the curriculum but can help with living costs. For more details on student work rights, visit our student visa page. International students must also comply with visa conditions and ensure their work does not interfere with study.
