MEET OUR HEAD OF SCHOOL
SEAN HODGSON
Hi, I’m the Head of School at Y Schools Queensland Brisbane South Senior, and I’ve had a diverse career that’s spanned both education and leadership roles. With over 10 years in teaching, alongside 20 years in government, I’ve gained a broad perspective on how to support young people, especially those facing challenges. My journey into education was driven by a passion for sports, health, and literature, which I’ve carried into my work here at the Y.
At Brisbane South Senior, I’m particularly focused on helping students impacted by alcohol and drug use, using my background in Addiction Studies to offer informed guidance. My goal is to create a school where every young person feels not only safe but also motivated to attend and pursue their aspirations. We foster a sense of community and provide the resources needed to help students take control of their future.
I invite families and students to visit our campus to see firsthand the opportunities we provide. We’re always here for a chat, and I’m confident you’ll feel the positive energy and commitment that makes Brisbane South Senior a great place to learn and grow.
Y Schools Queensland acknowledges and pays respect to the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and operate – the Jagera, Turrbul, Gubbi Gubbi, Waka Waka, Quandamooka, Yugambeh and Gureng Gureng peoples.
