Senior <strong>College</strong><br />

University Direct Pathway<br />

This academic option is one of the most exciting options for young people today. If a student<br />

enrols in full-time senior studies, they are able to take, as a part of their senior work load,<br />

university subjects. Students who pass all their subjects and who pass at least one university<br />

subject and who get a passing grade in all four semesters of Years 11 & 12 in OP English will<br />

be guaranteed placement within USQ. (this example is based on USQ’s Head Start Program<br />

and is subject to change).<br />

program, prerequisite of guaranteed entry and other prerequisites which must be undertaken<br />

Traditional <strong>Booklet</strong> Pathway<br />

This option is designed for students who choose to continue with Pace book learning with<br />

resources such as ACE, Maths-U-See and LLATL.<br />

Presently, <strong>Riverside</strong> is seeking approval from the Queensland Studies Authority for a QCE<br />

approved Pace book pathway which upon successful completion will qualify a student for a<br />

QCE.<br />

Students doing the traditional booklet pathway will also have to sit the SAT test for university<br />

consideration. Students will need to enrol at a university as a non-Year 12 entry using the<br />

SAT test to gain an OP for eligibility into a program. Parents and students are advised to<br />

check university prerequisites before committing to this pathway. Many of our past<br />

students have successfully earned University Placement with this pathway.
