At Maroochydore State High School, we offer Excellence in Education for All. This means we value all pathways that lead students to not only achieve a senior qualification but to become responsible citizens who can work productively and make a contribution to their community in their chosen field.
Our subject pathways are closely aligned with the employment opportunities, strengths and future directions of our local region as outlined by the Sunshine Coasts Regional Economic Development Strategy. In particular, our students will be prepared for employment opportunities in the areas of;
- Health & Wellbeing
- Aviation & Aerospace
- Tourism, Sport & Leisure
- Clean Technologies
- Education & Research
- Knowledge & Professional services
How to plan your career pathway (and choose subjects)
It is important to think about some key questions before you select subjects and/or plan your career pathway. It is important to also check back with these guiding questions as you continue through your journey at school as your skills, talents and interests continue to develop.
- What knowledge do you need? What would you like to know?
- What skills would you like to develop? What are your interest areas?
- What careers are you interested in pursuing?
- What have been your academic strengths and weaknesses so far?
- Have you met subject or university pre-requisites? What qualifications do you need for future courses?
- Who can you speak with to find out more information?
