While the majority of our students aspire to enter University, great careers don’t always begin at University level. In the senior years of schooling students are able to undertake a variety of pathways, depending on their career aspirations. The flexibility in the curriculum caters for the individual, allowing students to undertake outside learning opportunities whilst still at school if so desired. This can be integrated into a simultaneous work placement, traineeship or apprenticeship.

The College staff actively support the individual needs of every child to ensure they are well prepared for their future. A very high percentage of students obtain first round offers to tertiary institutions and our graduates are often accepted into high level courses which require exceptional folios or auditions.

The College recognises that students must be prepared for a future in a technological work environment with an increasing degree of career mobility. In order to aid this development, we believe it is essential to promote a secure and friendly learning environment where students are encouraged to maximise their potential. Students are supported as they explore different pathways and their achievements are celebrated. This results in students achieving strong academic results and possessing the ability and confidence to operate in a rapidly changing global environment.

In the senior years at Coomera Anglican College students are assigned to a Pastoral Care class comprised of students from their House (Gibbs, Smith, Morris, Lane) - at their year level.

Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 are confronted with much change in their lives. For this reason, students participate in a Personal Development Programme designed to develop skills, knowledge, attitudes and understandings that enable students to value and lead healthy lifestyles and to develop as responsible global citizens. This programme focuses on key personal development skills such as Mindfulness, Wellbeing, Study Skills, Career Planning, Sexual Health, Drug Education, Cyber Safety and so on.

In addition, leadership opportunities together with opportunities to be involved in an exciting cocurricular programme, ensure that Coomera Anglican College students are well-supported and well-prepared to move out into the wider world.

All students from Pre-Prep to Year 12 use computers and other related technology on a daily basis. In addition to specialist elearning rooms, technology is available in all classrooms through a variety of means. Primary classrooms are fitted with electronic whiteboards and/or banks of laptops computers and iPads. The College eMind Programme provides secondary students with take home laptop computers, tablets and other devices.

All College classrooms are fitted with large, high-resolution, interactive audio-visual displays. These enable teachers to deliver engaging digital content that supports a range of modern teaching and learning techniques. Our enterprise grade network and cloud computing systems offer a range of technology-related education functions that are second to none.

Supported by the modern technology infrastructure and eLearning Support staff our students develop mastery of valuable skills including digital imagery, graphic design, multi-media creation, computer aided design (CAD), 3D printing and laser cutting. Also currently popular activities include robotics, virtual and augmented reality, music composition, coding, research skills, and academic writing.

At Coomera Anglican College, we take Cyber safety seriously. We are proud to partner with Family Zone. Family Zone is a complete online cyber safety solution that protects your children at College, at home and when they are out and about.
