Located within the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct, QAHS is a state school for exceptional students in Years 10 to 12 and a unique pipeline of emerging talent for health, science and research fields.
By immersing gifted students in an accelerated learning environment with direct exposure to Griffith University and our wider innovation community, QAHS creates a pathway from high school to future study, research and careers within the precinct.
QAHS students are already working on advanced STEM projects, participating in research immersion activities and engaging with precinct partners. Being part of our ecosystem allows you to:
QAHS offers an International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum focused on health and science, backed by direct links to Griffith University and access to real-world learning experiences within the Precinct.
Students benefit from:
Come and experience the ecosystem they’ve dropped themselves into, it’s incredibly powerful because of the people that are coming, the people you have access to, and the athletes you have access to. It’s not just an environment of opportunity, it’s incredibly positive. If you came and experienced that ecosystem, you’d find those two major pillars: access, and a really positive environment.
When I think about the number of elite athletes we have at Griffith University, right here on our doorstep, and the way we can connect sports tech companies directly to them, it’s incredible. Add to that the semi-professional athletes at the Southport Sharks and the fact that sport is in the Gold Coast’s DNA. We’re so lucky to have an innovation precinct purpose-built to support sports tech, it’s a game changer.
The 2018 Commonwealth Games put us on the world stage for sport and innovation, and one thing about the Gold Coast is, once we’re on the world stage, we don’t get off it. That momentum sparked lasting legacies like the Health and Knowledge Precinct, along with other high-performance centres across the city. It all feeds off each other, and that’s how the best in sports tech find their way to the Gold Coast.
As a student passionate about advanced medical research and its potential to transform lives, the Precinct offers an ideal environment for connecting with like-minded and leading individuals. The people here are proactive, always ready to offer support and inspiration, making it a fantastic place for someone like me who is just starting.
Coming back from the US, where we work very closely with the world-renowned Texas Heart Institute, to see the expansion of the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct made it really attractive for us to bring our technology back here to work with a world-leading laboratory at Griffith.
