We take immense pride in our International High School Graduate Program, which boasts a strong track record of success. Our International students consistently progress to reputable universities in Queensland and beyond, thanks to our commitment to preparing them for future-oriented pathways and the workforce.
Guided by an experienced Senior Schooling team, we meticulously monitor the academic performance and well-being of our International students, ensuring they are well-equipped for their chosen fields of study. Our Graduate Program offers a diverse range of subjects tailored to meet the varied pathways of our International students.
Collaboration between the Senior Secondary and International teams ensures that our students receive comprehensive support and guidance throughout their final years of schooling.
We provide additional ESL (English as a Second Language) support and subject tutoring in English, Maths, Science, and Physical Education to further assist our graduate students.
Upon graduation, International students receive their QCE (Queensland Certificate of Education) and an ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank), opening doors to pursue their desired areas of study at Australian universities or through vocational pathways.
In 2025, the Year 12 cohort of 155 students graduated with 141 Certificate II qualifications and 85 Certificate III qualifications. 25 students also completed a traineeship or a school-based apprenticeship. In 2025, we hosted 2 students to complete the International Graduate Program, with all students successfully graduating with their QCE, achieving 3 Certificate II courses and 2 Certificate III courses. Of our 141 graduates, 63 of these students were offered university positions, the majority of which were with the University of the Sunshine Coast. Again, our graduates are preferring to study in the Health and Education fields.
The 2024 Meridan State College Year 12 cohort of 215 students chose a diverse range of post schooling options for their life beyond the classroom, with 37 students also completing a school based apprenticeship or traineeship whilst at school. This cohort graduated with 204 Certificate II level qualifications, and 106 Certificate III qualifications. 90 graduates preferred a University pathway, and 66 of these were accepted into their chosen University and course through early offer initiatives. 60% of students attending University after school, chose the University of the Sunshine Coast, UniSC, as their preferred institution. 38% of students chose a career in the health industry. 94.2% of our 2023 graduates are, in 2024, participating in further education or training.
We are very fortunate to partner with some of the most respected universities in Queensland and are only 20 minutes from the Sunshine Coast University, which offers a vast range of degrees for our International students to study.
