Queensland State High Schools cater for Years 8 to 12 (or some smaller range within this). Years 8 and 9 are known as Junior and Years 10, 11 and 12 are known as Senior. The term "Senior" is widely applied to those in Years 11 and 12. The technical term Sub-senior is sometimes encountered in relation to Year 11, but is not in widespread use.

Famous quotes containing the words state, high and/or schools:
“[17th-century] Puritans were the first modern parents. Like many of us, they looked on their treatment of children as a test of their own self-control. Their goal was not to simply to ensure the child’s duty to the family, but to help him or her make personal, individual commitments. They were the first authors to state that children must obey God rather than parents, in case of a clear conflict.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“An epic of worry rather than of high tragedy.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Absolute catholicity of taste is not without its dangers. It is only an auctioneer who should admire all schools of art.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
