Our Difference

ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION THAT FOCUSES ON A HOLLISTIC STUDENT EXPERIENCE

At Y Schools Queensland, we draw on fundamental values of care, respect, responsibility and honesty to create an inclusive and nurturing learning environment that support our students to prepare for their future.

We understand that every student is unique. We are committed to providing a learning environment tailored to meet our students’ diverse needs. Our approach is rooted in three fundamental pillars: Wellbeing, Pathways and Teaching and Learning.

Wellbeing

We place a high priority on the mental and emotional health of our students.
Our curriculum integrates the Thrive Wellbeing Pathway, a holistic approach that ensures students receive the social and emotional support they need to thrive in both their personal and academic lives.
Our classrooms are intentionally designed to be welcoming and comfortable, creating a safe space where students can focus on learning and growth.

Pathways

We are dedicated to preparing students for a successful future by offering a range of vocational and career development opportunities.
Our curriculum aligns with the Australian Blueprint for Career Development, providing students with the skills and experiences they need to transition smoothly into the workforce or further education.

Teaching and Learning

Through high-impact, differentiated teaching and a trauma-aware approach, we empower students to enhance their practical and personal skills at a pace that suits them.
Our flexible and individualised learning programs are designed to engage students and boost their confidence, encouraging consistent attendance and active participation in their education.

Our unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is at the core of our institution. We ensure that every student feels valued and supported.

At Y Schools Queensland, we believe in empowering young people to shape their own futures, contribute to their communities, and thrive on their journey to employment.
