Cleveland District State High School – Year 6 into Year 7 Academic Excellence Program
Cleveland District State High School has a proud tradition of Preparing Students to Meet the Future. One of the ways we achieve this is by providing opportunities for students to excel in their chosen pathway. For highly motivated students who achieve strong academic results, we offer an Academic Excellence Program in Year 7, leading into an Intensive Academic Pathway in Senior. This pathway allows students to engage in a broad range of general ATAR subjects, including specialist and extension subjects, ensuring they are both challenged and supported in reaching their academic potential. The Year 7 program is designed to foster critical thinking and provide engaging learning experiences that bring out the best in high-achieving students. Entry into this program is competitive, with places awarded based on Year 6 performance, NAPLAN results, and positive effort and behaviour comments on primary school report cards. Applications for the academic program are open to families both within and outside our catchment area.
