Major changes to the school curriculum took place in 2007. The first alteration was placing the tenth grade into the Senior School. All students in the tenth grade are required to wear the senior school uniform and complete "transitional" classes designed to bridge the gap between Junior and Senior schooling. At the beginning of 2007, the school adopted the Education Queensland's "Learning or Earning" initiative and setup a special schooling system for Year 11 and 12 students. On Monday, the Year 11 and 12 students do not attend school and either use the day to endeavor in vocational educations (i.e. school based trainee ships and apprenticeships) or to study Senior classes.

In May 2011 the 'Academy' curriculum was introduced to the school. It was introduced as a new look for the school. There is 4 Academies; Culture & The Arts, Science & Engineering, Sport Health & Fitness and Business & industries. These are divided into the Junior and Senior phases of the school. Each Academy is host to wide array of subjects. Math and English which are 'common' subjects are included in the new Academy curriculum, Math being under the Science & Engineering Academy and English as a subject which is used throughout all 4 of the Academies.
