Aims
Beyond
State High asks students to think about their future career ideas,
share their ideas with others and be prepared to engage in their chosen
field following Year 12. We are not asking students to choose one career
idea and stay with that for the rest of their lives; we are supporting
students to create an informed action plan for what they wish to do
next, what are they prepared to go and do following Year 12.
We
want students to confidently go and be great ambassadors for Brisbane
State High with the skills, knowledge and desire to positively interact
with the world around them and continue to learn and grow from their
experiences.
