🚀 MAGNA Applications Now Open!
Springfield Central State High School is excited to announce that applications for the 2026 MAGNA Excellence Program are now open!
Launched in 2013, the MAGNA Excellence Program is designed to support and extend high-achieving students. MAGNA — meaning GREAT in Latin — proudly aligns with our school motto, Scale Great Heights, and reflects our ongoing commitment to academic excellence.
MAGNA Academic classes operate across Years 7 to 9 in the four core subjects:
English
Mathematics
Humanities
Science
While following the Australian National Curriculum, MAGNA classes offer enhanced opportunities for academic challenge, extension, and engagement.
MAGNA Academic Expectations
Students selected for MAGNA are expected to:
Maintain high academic standards across core and elective subjects
Participate in State and National competitions to extend their learning
Engage in extension activities and academic challenges beyond the standard curriculum
Student progress is regularly reviewed to ensure the MAGNA Excellence standard is upheld. Students who are unable to maintain the required expectations may be withdrawn from the program.
Why Apply?
The MAGNA Excellence Program empowers students to push boundaries, challenge themselves, and excel in their academic pursuits. We encourage students who are passionate about academic achievement and excellence to apply and seize this unique opportunity!
Applications close on 1 August.
Late submissions will not be accepted.
