About Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics and Technology
Underpinning our academic success is an outstanding pastoral care system supporting every student and helping each one to feel a vital part of the QASMT ‘family’. Student welfare is implemented through a Mentor Program ensuring all students achieve their potential. We believe in the importance of guiding students to become responsible and caring individuals, who are sensitive, open-minded and respectful of all cultures. QASMT aims to develop tomorrow’s leaders; individuals who will be internationally-minded citizens.
Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. At QASMT, we understand this responsibility, and that is why we are committed to and passionate about nurturing our students’ academic, social and personal development in a caring and safe community.
Whilst you will find extensive information about QASMT on our website, I encourage you to visit our Academy on Open Days, in order to fully appreciate the warmth and vibrancy of our learning community, and to discover for yourself how we can best serve the educational needs of your child.
