We are proud to announce that we have been selected by 'The Educator' on the 2020 Innovative School list.
'The Educator's' sixth annual Innovative School list reveals the schools making the most profound and exciting impact in K-12 education.
Below are the details for our college taken from 'The Educator':
Brisbane South State Secondary College boasts a school environment that is strategically designed to support the explicit development of global competencies, thus empowering students to engage in deeper learning experiences. It features the Creative Hub that includes a future-focused research and innovation centre, a modern library, virtual reality and green screen labs, collaboration cubes, and a dedicated makerspace; the Performing Arts Precinct that houses the latest technologies and performance spaces for creating music, digital compilation, and communication and creative art; and The Learning Hub that offers next-level learning spaces.
This year, BSSSC has co-designed Australia’s first high school Biomedical Science STEM(M-medical) Academy with the University of Queensland, to embed new ways of learning, teaching, and research that integrates the STEM(M) disciplines in more authentic and meaningful ways. The college also co-developed with AFL Queensland and the Brisbane Lions a rst-of-its-kind, specialised AFL Academy, to provide students with high-quality training by leading experts and access to regular participation in AFL Queensland competitions.
The college also has a new and unique learning framework that draws from the most innovative evidence-based research, employs the collaborative learning process and focuses on developing students' self-understanding, connection, knowledge and the global competencies.
