Subjects Offered

A wide range of subjects is offered for students in Years 5–10. From Year 11, the choice of both Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) subjects and QCAA approved vocational subjects are offered.

Our aim is to create an encouraging community that enables each child to learn, grow, build confidence, participate in cocurricular activities and engage in College life.  

Our dedicated Primary Years Team foster the development of our students through tailor-made learning and pastoral programs, designed to provide our youngest students with an authentic St Rita’s experience through a primary-aged lens.  

By the end of Year 6, a Primary Years student will have experienced a comprehensive educational and cocurricular program, immersed herself in all areas of College life and taken the first steps in becoming a confident and independent learner, ready to take on the challenges of Secondary schooling. 

We are proud to be providing opportunities for young women and to be inspiring them to live out our College motto, Virtute Non Verbis - Action not Words. 

Students who meet the requirements of the QCAA are eligible to receive the Queensland Certificate of Education or the Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement at the end of Year 12.

Learning support is available for students who are identified as requiring additional assistance or who are capable of extension studies.

Access to academic educational opportunities provided by universities is supported, and for students at St Rita’s studying the vocational qualifications we offer, opportunities with TAFE and other registered training organisations (RTOs) is encouraged. School-based apprenticeships and traineeships, with achievement based on industry endorsed competency standards, and work experience are also available.
