Link and launch program
Each year, we are proud of our students who complete Year 12. From school, many of our students go on to further study, training and employment and ultimately, make positive contributions to our community.
Among each group of Year 12 students, there are some who need additional support to successfully transition to further study, training or work.
The Link and Launch program is designed to help these young people decide what further study, training or employment might be best for them and to assist them in pursuing their chosen pathway.
Our school is one of the 36 sites in Queensland selected to run the Link and Launch program. We are proud to offer Link and Launch assistance to any local young people who have completed Year 12, regardless of which school they attended.
Our Link and Launch officer connects with young people who have completed Year 12 but not yet transitioned to further study, training or work. The officer can assist young people to navigate the system and consider a range of post-school study, training and work options in line with their individual goals, aspirations, skills and strengths. Link and Launch aims to support young people to make independent choices that will equip them to make a successful transition.

Need help? There are a number of ways to get in touch with our Link and Launch Manager, Emma Kirkland. If you know a young person who might benefit from this kind of support, please encourage them to contact Emma Kirkland by:
