This college is well known for its science program. I went to have a look at the facilities at multiple colleges prior to my application and found that the technology and facilities of my colleagues were more up-to-date.
Course Curriculum :
I believe the course curriculum is highly relevant and will help me to gain the skills and knowledge I need to enter the workforce in my field (science). However, the workload is quite heavy, with many more contact hours and tasks in my faculty than in others.
Exams :
I sat the QCS test (Queensland Core Skills Test) in order to obtain an OP (overall position) ranking for university entrance.
Fees :
Fees are able to be out onto a HECS loan, meaning I do not have to pay for my full tuition until I earn a salary above a certain threshold. There was an amenities charge of ~$150 AUD which I paid outright instead of putting on HECS. Clubs and societies have individual fees but these are not compulsory to join.
Examination Structure :
The exam structure varies between subjects. However, there are generally at least two major exams per semester (one mid-semester and one at the end of each semester) which vary in length. All my subjects also have small weekly quizzes throughout the semester.
Faculty :
The faculty is highly regarded as the college is well known for its science programs. The science faculty at my college is quite large in comparison to others.
