The Screen and Media Gateway to Industry Schools program is a partnership between Essential Screen Skills and the Queensland Government. This program provides opportunities for students and teachers to participate in valuable experiences, broaden knowledge and attend industry-led events. It promotes understanding of the screen and media industry and provides key information about pathways to further education, training and employment in the sector. In partnership with key industry stakeholders, the project provides real world opportunities for students, teachers and schools to access:

• panels and workshops
• teaching resources and professional development
• careers and pathway guides to future work
• work placements and industry work experience

Gateway schools will be able to actively engage and connect with key industry stakeholders to create strong connections and pathways for their students.

The process to become a Screen and Media Gateway School is highly selective. The first step is to read the Memorandum of Understanding Preview Document to gain an understanding of the commitments required from a school. This includes clear Screen and Media subject pathways in both Junior and Senior Secondary School and school support to enable students and teachers to access opportunities. You can then “apply to be a gateway school below” and we will email you a link to complete an Expression of Interest. These are reviewed at the start of each Semester. We strongly encourage you to sign up to our e-newsletter and follow our social media profiles to continue to access opportunities outside of the Screen and Media Gateway Program.
