SENIOR SECONDARY
To focus on the success of all students in Years 11 and 12 to ensure they exit Ferny Grove State High School with the best possible outcomes and meaningful pathways.
Setting the scene
• Let’s begin with a short animated videothat suggests an approach to pathways planning.
• Senior Statement;• Queensland Certificate of Education; or• Queensland Certificate of Individual
Achievement;• ATAR or a pathway to employment or further
study and / or Certificate III.
MEANINGFUL OUTCOMES
PREPARING FOR SENIOR SECONDARY
• Planning for Years 11 and 12 is an important step for students.
• A wide range of learning options are available.
• We will work with our Year 10 students and their families to develop a plan.
PLANNING A PATHWAY
•The plan helps students:
• think about their education, training and career goals
• structure their learning around their abilities, interests and ambitions
• map their pathway to a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).
THINGS FOR STUDENTS TO CONSIDER• What are my career goals?
• Which subjects am I good at?
• Which subjects do I like?
• Do I want to continue studying after Year 12?
• Are there prerequisite subjects?
• Are there special entry requirements?
JOB OUTLOOK Australian jobs are changing as new technologies are introduced, businesses find new ways of working, and as we respond to challenges like COVID-19. This will lead to new jobs being created, and new skills may be needed for existing jobs.
How can you find your way in a changing world of work?

JOB OUTLOOK When you’re thinking about work and study options, it can be helpful to understand
• the jobs available now and in the future;• the skills needed for jobs that interest you;• your interests and how you like to work.
JOBS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE
There is likely to be demand in industries where employment has grown strongly in recent years, including:• Health Care and Social Assistance• Professional, Scientific and Technical Services• Education and Training• Construction.
SET PLAN- SENIOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLANS
The purpose of the SET Plan for students is to:
• Help students structure their learning in Year 11 and 12 around their abilities, interests and ambitions;

parents/carer the school and other learning providers.
SUBJECT SELECTION GUIDELINESThings to consider:
• What are my career goals?• What subjects am I good at?• What subjects do I like?• What subjects am I committed to?• Have I met FGSHS’s prerequisites for General
subjects?• Which subjects, if any, are prerequisites for future
courses?
FGSHS - PRE-REQUISITES FOR GENERAL SUBJECTS• To ensure students are equipped for success within Senior
General Subjects the following Prerequisites must be met. • Students must demonstrate the identified standard/s on
their Year 10 Semester Reports (Page 11 of the guide).

• A student’s pathway will depend on the subjects and courses the school offers and their individual goals.
• Typically, students will study six subjects/courses across Years 11 and 12.
EXAMPLE PATHWAYExample 1
A student enrols in six General subjects (Core category) over four units / semesters.
English
Mathematical Methods
Psychology
Geography
Accounting
Drama
EXAMPLE PATHWAYExample 2
A student enrols in six Applied subjects (Core category) over four units / semesters.
Essential English
Essential Maths
Social and Community Studies
Visual Arts in Practice
Science in Practice
Agricultural Practices
EXAMPLE PATHWAYExample 3A student enrols in a combination of General and Applied subjects (Core and Preparatory categories) and completes learning as part of a school-based apprenticeship in Carpentry.
Essential English
General Mathematics
Certificate I in Engineering
Science in Practice
Tourism
Certificate III in Carpentry, 30% of certificate completed 50 days/year on-the-job (100 total)
Careful consideration of subject choice and ability is extremely important as this may impact on successful attainment of the Qld Certificate of Education (QCE).

TERTIARY ENTRANCE• The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) replaced the
Overall Position (OP) in 2020.
• The ATAR is used nationally to measure a student’s position relative to other ATAR eligible students.
• The ATAR is a finer grained rank order of students, expressed on a 2000-point scale from 99.95 (highest) down to 0, in increments of 0.05.
ATAR ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for an ATAR, a student must have:
• satisfactorily completed an English subject (English Essential, General English or Literature)
• completed five general subjects, or four general subjects plus either one applied subject or VET course at AQF Certificate III or above
While students must satisfactorily complete an English subject to be eligible for an ATAR, the result in English will only be included in the ATAR calculation if it is one of the student’s best five subjects.

ASSESSMENT - QCAA SUBJECTS/COURSES
QCAA General subjects:
• three internal assessments (set/marked by schools)
• one external assessment (set/marked by the QCAA and held at the same time in schools across Queensland)
Most external assessment will contribute 25% to the final subject result. In Mathematics and Science subjects, it will contribute 50%.
GENERAL SUBJECTS
Units 1 & 2 Units 3 & 4
Formative Units Summative Units

ASSESSMENT — QCAA SUBJECTS/COURSES
QCAA Applied subjects:
• four internal assessments (set/marked by schools)
• Essential English and Essential Mathematics — one of the four is a common internal assessment (set by the QCAA and marked by schools)
APPLIED SUBJECTS
Units 1 & 2 Units 3 & 4
Formative Units Summative Units

Between 2 and 4 assessments
Results to be based on 4 Internal Assessments
• There is no external assessment in Applied Subjects
ASSESSMENT — VET AND OTHER COURSESVET assessment may include
‒ observation
‒ written assessment
‒ work samples
‒ questioning.
• Assessment for other courses will vary depending on the course.
ATAR CALCULATION
• The Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) will be responsible for calculating students’ ATARs.
• The ATAR will be calculated by combining a student’s best five subject scaled scores.
• Scaled scores will be derived from a student’s subject results as reported to QTAC by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA), using a process of inter-subject scaling.
• ATARs below 30 will be reported as ‘30.00 or less’.
• https://www.qtac.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/All-About-Your-ATAR-Jul-21.pdf
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (VET) AND THE ATAR
• Each VET qualification level (certificate III or higher) will have a single scaled score that can be included in a student’s ATAR.
• For example, a Certificate III in Hospitality and a Certificate III in Laboratory Skills will each have the same scaled score; this will be regardless of the duration or content
• A scaled score for a VET Diploma will be higher than a Cert IV, which in turn will be higher than a Cert III.
QCAA collects Unit 3 & 4 subject results and completed VET Qualifications
QTAC receives results from QCAA

RESULTS AND REPORTING
• Final results will be released at the end of Year 12 in student learning accounts on the myQCE website.
• All students receive a senior statement.
• Eligible students receive a QCE. Students can keep working towards their QCE after Year 12.
myQCE https://myqce.qcaa.qld.edu.au/
• The “Year 10 Guide to Career Pathways and Tertiary Prerequisites” for 2021 Year 10 students is now available as an eBook on the QTAC website.
• Consider prerequisites when choosing subjects in your during your SET Planning.
