June 2016
Dear Parents
This handbook is designed to assist students and parents in making an appropriate selection of courses and subjects for Years 11 and 12 as the learning journey continues.
Committing to an individual learning pathway is important in senior as we know education is the key to economic, social and personal stability and success in our increasingly complicated society. At St Francis College we offer pathways to post school life. Student goals post school vary – work, traineeship, apprenticeship, university. All are valid and not mutually exclusive; but all require a commitment to ‘learning’ so students are equipped for employment or ready for further study and/or training.
St Francis College is a Franciscan Catholic school committed to a holistic education so we continue to develop the spiritual, intellectual and personal qualities of each student within a caring Christian community. In senior, we expect students to be active and willing participants in their educational journey. Our students’ educational journey is more fruitful with the active support of parents; and where a partnership is evident between the students, parents and the College. Parental support and involvement in the life of St Francis is important to students and greatly valued by the College.
The Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) provides for many valid pathways for students. All pathways require a significant amount of learning to an agreed standard, including literacy and numeracy. Thus the decision made by students with regard to subject selection needs both careful research and sound guidance. In order to thrive, students need to commit to their individual learning and to contribute to the St Francis College community. Thus students will need to commit to:
the Franciscan ethos and catholic values of St Francis College; regular study; full participation in the pastoral activities; a willingness to be involved in the co-curricular life of St Francis College; and to leave a positive legacy for the College.
We look forward to working with students and families as students pursue their individual goals while contributing to the great community that is St Francis.
Yours sincerely
Ms Patricia Kennedy Principal
St Francis College – Senior School Studies Handbook 2017 – 2018 3

Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) There are different components that work together in the senior phase of learning. In Year 10, students will develop a career plan or Senior Education and Training plan (SET plan) to help them plan possible careers and develop a program of study to provide the pathway to their future goals.
In the year before turning 16, students will register with the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) and open a learning account. Recordable amounts of learning, called learning achievements, can then be banked into the learning account.
There are a number of outcomes that could arise from this learning account:
a Senior Statement - the record of all learning achievements banked by someone completing Year 12.
a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) – attesting to a significant amount of learning at a set standard and meeting literacy and numeracy requirements.
an OP – indicating a student’s rank order position based on overall achievement in Authority subjects and used to gain entry to
universities.
a VET Certificate – certifying competence in a course or qualification level
a Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA) – recognises schooling achievements that cannot generally be recorded on the senior statement.

Choosing Appropriate Courses
The subjects chosen in Year 11 can have an effect on job/career prospects, the availability of tertiary courses, and on the student's personal wellbeing. For these reasons, it is important that students discuss selection of subjects with their parents, teachers and Subject Co-ordinators. Students should bear the following in mind when choosing the most suitable subjects for Senior.
Achievement A student who has done well in a subject in Year 9 and 10 is likely to
continue to do well in that subject. However, she/he should be careful about her/his choice of Science subjects. A good pass in Pre Mathematics B is essential for any hope of succeeding in Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics B in senior.
Ability A student should be realistic about their ability and refrain from
fantasizing about vast improvements they will make should they do three times as much study as they did in Year 10. Chances are they will need to do much more study in the following year to even maintain their present level of achievement.
Interest Through studies in Years 8, 9 and 10, students should have a fair idea
as to the types of subjects in which they are interested. IF students study subjects they enjoy as well as do well at they have the greatest chance of success in senior.
Entry Requirement (Prerequisites)
A student should make sure that their choice of subjects includes those prescribed for entry to courses at universities, Defence Force Colleges and Academies or for the field of work that they might be considering. Some subjects are also useful for certain courses even though they may not be prescribed.
Self-improvement A student should regard their studies in Years 11 and 12 as the chance to improve the skills needed for a job. The ability to express themselves well and to write down ideas in correct English and demonstrate reasonable word processing skills are qualities for which many employers look. Subjects which require a substantial amount of reading, note taking and essay writing will improve these skills.
Number of subjects CORE: All students are required to study three core subjects:
English Mathematics Religion
ELECTIVES: three other subjects must be chosen from the list of subjects outlined in this handbook, alternate programs offered by TAFEs or universities, or a school based apprenticeship or traineeship in place of a subject.
10 St Francis College – Senior School Studies Handbook 2017 – 2018
TYPES OF SUBJECTS
Authority Subjects Authority subject have the following characteristics:
The syllabus for the subject has been approved by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA).
The work program has been accredited by the QCAA.
The assessment of student achievement has been certified by the QCAA.
Results from Authority subjects can count in the calculation of Ops and FPs – the most common selection devices used by the tertiary sector.
Purpose: The subject is designed for students who wish to be eligible for tertiary entrance. The range of choices allows students to specialise in interest and ability areas or to undertake a broad based course, thereby keeping their options open.
Requirements: A minimum of 20 semester units of Authority subjects, (that is, five (5) Authority subjects x 4 semesters). Three (3) of these subjects (12 units) must be studied for two (2) years.
Core subjects: Study of Religion English Maths A or Maths B
Electives: Three (3) subject choices are to be made. These can be a combination of Authority, Authority-registered or VET subjects.
Prerequisites: Please check each Authority subject description for minimum entry requirements and seek further advice if the prerequisite has not been met.
Authority-Registered Subjects Authority-registered subjects have the following characteristics:
Allow for more study of a practical nature Results in SAS (Authority-registered)
subjects are not included in the calculation
of Ops and FPs but can be included in the calculation of a Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER).
VET courses Certificate 2 level courses are offered
by the College These are all based on Nationally
Recognised Training Packages These are subject to availability of
qualified staff
Purpose: These subjects are designed to prepare students for the transition to work and/or continue with tertiary studies. For the selection process to tertiary institutions and TAFE Colleges, students are awarded a rank, which is obtained from Levels of Achievement in the case of Authority-registered subjects or from the completion of Certificate level qualifications. A schedule is used to convert these levels to a Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER).
This course is more practical than theoretical, designed to give students a wide range of skills. Work experience and school-based apprenticeships and traineeships are also available through this program.

IMPORTANT NOTE The offerings outlined in this Curriculum Handbook are made subject to the availability of teachers and resources. The Principal reserves the right to withdraw any units or Subjects where resource limitations or insufficient student numbers make it impractical to pursue the offering. In general, class groups of fewer than sixteen (16) students will not operate. In some subjects a combined class of Year 11 and 12 students may operate rather than not offer the subject. It is possible that the subject selections of a small number of students may not be able to be timetabled. In such situations students will be advised to re-select subjects.

NATIONAL VET QUALIFICATIONS
St Francis College – Senior School Studies Handbook 2017 – 2018 41
Students may enter a VET subject in any semester. However, students who enter the subject after semester one will only be able to receive a Statement of Attainment for individual units in which they are competent. St Francis College must have industry current and vocationally competent teachers and equipment to run this course. If the college loses access to these resources, the college will attempt to provide students with alternative opportunities to complete the course and the related qualification. The college retains the right to cancel the course if it is unable to meet these requirements.

Alternative Study Options
Tafe at School
TAFE Queensland, Brisbane Partnership with Schools (PWS) program is now in its fifth year and continues to allow students to complete a broad range of industry focused vocational qualifications as part of their Year 11 and 12 study program.
Courses available include: Business, Conservation and Land Management, Children's Services, Design fundamentals, Costume and make-up, Graphics, Photography, Fashion, Health, Information Technology, Music, Media, Retail, Tourism, Transport and Distribution.
All full qualification PWS programs are free of tuition and amenities costs for students enrolled in a Queensland secondary school. Students only pay for materials and textbooks where applicable and administration fee when studying on an MSIT campus. However students must remain enrolled and in attendance at school until the end of program if they wish to receive this tuition free of charge.
Students completing MSIT PWS programs gain automatic entry to higher level MSIT Certificate/Diploma programs when they finish Year 12 and can then continue on to a direct articulated entry to University study.
A brief outline of the 2017 program is included on the next pages. For further details students are advised to see the Careers/VET Co-ordinator Kailyn McNamara.

SCHOOL BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS
Study, Work, Train
School
Students must gain support from their school to undertake a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship (SAT). The work and/or training of the SAT must impact on the school timetable to be considered school-based.
The school, student, their parent/guardian employer and training organisation will negotiate a schedule which outlines when the student is at school, work or training. This schedule must indicate exactly how the SAT will impact on the school timetable. The training plan will also need to be negotiated between the student, employer and training organisation, and will specify training needs, how and when training will take place, who will provide the training and how training will be assessed.
The school has a role in providing support to the student throughout the SAT. Miss McNamara is the school VET Coordinator who makes all the arrangements for SATs and can provide more complete details.
Work Work and training may take place: one to two days per week, attending school on the remaining days
for blocks of time in the workplace on weekends, school holidays or after school.
Employers are required to provide a minimum of 375 hours (50 days) of paid employment per 12-month period. Over each three month period, the apprentice or trainee must work an average of 7.5 hours per week as a minimum.
SATs enter into a training contract with an employer. The training contract legally binds the employer and the school-based apprentice or trainee for the duration of the apprenticeship or traineeship.
Sometimes the employer will be a group training organisation (GTO). GTOs place apprentices and trainees with a range of host employers, who supervise and train students on behalf of the GTO.
Training
At the commencement of the SAT, the school-based apprentice or trainee and the employer select a training organisation. The training organisation is referred to as the supervising registered training organisation (SRTO) in the official paperwork. Training organisations deliver off-the-job training and oversee the on-the-job training provided by the employer.

Advantages of school-based apprenticeships and traineeships (SATs)
School-based apprenticeships and traineeships help young people to go places ... whether that's a full-time job, a trade career, university, TAFE or other training. The workplace skills and confidence they gain during their school-based apprenticeship or traineeship provide a solid foundation for any career. Some of the advantages of school-based apprenticeships and traineeships include: More flexibility and variety The variety provided by school-based apprenticeships and traineeships can have enormous benefits for young people who prefer hands-on learning to traditional schooling pathways. Head start in a career Young people employed as school-based apprentices and trainees develop workplace skills, knowledge, confidence and have a competitive edge when applying for jobs. A school-based apprenticeship or traineeship can lead directly to full-time employment once a student has left school. Nationally recognised qualifications All school-based apprentices and trainees participate in vocational training that contributes to a Certificate II, III or higher vocational qualification which can count towards the student's Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE). An opportunity to learn and earn School-based apprentices and trainees are paid while they learn workplace skills, gain confidence, and adapt to a work environment. It gives the student the opportunity to put skills learnt at school into practice in a real work environment. Some students complete traineeships while they're at school, which means they leave school with a QCE and a nationally recognised vocational certificate. Others go on to finish their apprenticeship or traineeship either full-time or part-time after they have left school.
What's the difference between an apprentice and a trainee?
Apprenticeships and traineeships combine training with working in a real job, for a real boss, with a real wage.
There are two main differences between an apprentice and a trainee. An apprentice is trained in a skilled trade and upon successful completion will become a qualified tradesperson. Trades such as electrical, plumbing, cabinet-making and automotive mechanics are just a few that are a part of the apprenticeship scheme.
A trainee is someone who is being trained in a vocational area. These vocational areas include, but are not limited to, office administration, information technology and hospitality. Upon completion of a traineeship you will be eligible to receive a minimum of a certificate II in your chosen vocational area.
A school-based apprentice is trained in a skilled trade, and upon successful completion, will become a qualified tradesperson. Most school-based apprentices and some school-based trainees will need to have their training contract converted to a full-time or part-time apprenticeship or traineeship when they finish school to allow them to complete the qualification.
The qualification or competencies completed during the school-based apprenticeship or traineeship can be recorded on the student's Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE). The training may be classroom-based, work-based or delivered flexibly (e.g. online training). Each training organisation offers different methods of training apprentices and trainees. The student and employer should look into options offered by various training organisations to find one which reflects both of their requirements.
