The opportunity

R.I.S.E. College isn't a school looking for someone to maintain the status quo. We're a new kind of school, being built from scratch, with a clear philosophy, strong community backing and a founding team that believes education can do better for young people who have been let down by traditional systems.

This is a rare chance to join at the very beginning. To help design the culture, shape the curriculum and lead a school that puts young people first. Not in theory. In practice, every day.

Following the appointment of our Founding Principal and Founding Business Manager, we're now building our founding teaching team, starting with Mathematics, English and Social and Community Services (VET/SACS).

Who we are

About R.I.S.E. College

R.I.S.E. College is a Special Assistance School for young people in years 11 and 12 who are disengaged from, or disadvantaged within, mainstream education. We're founded by CoAct, a community services organisation with deep roots in supporting young Australians to thrive.

R.I.S.E. stands for Resilience, Identity, Skills and Engagement. These aren't just words on a wall: they're the framework for everything we do, how we teach, how we support students and how we measure success.

We're located in Woolloongabba, Brisbane, and we're set to open in 2027, with a target launch date of January 27.
