Senior Phase of LearningOur goal is for each student to have a meaningful pathway and to establish the foundations for a successful future.
We expect each student to achieve a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).
Senior Schooling in QueenslandGoal: For success in work and life, young Queenslanders in the 21st century need to be:
New Senior Assessment and Tertiary Entrance SystemsNew Senior Assessment and Tertiary Entrance Systems began in Queensland with students entering Year 11 in 2019.
The new system includes:
• A model that uses school-based assessment and external assessment.
• Processes that strengthen the quality and comparability of school- based assessment.
• Introducing the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).
Program
The Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) is Queensland’s senior secondary schooling qualification. It is internationally recognised and provides evidence of senior schooling achievements.
The QCE is issued to eligible students when they meet all the requirements, either at the completion of Year 12, or after they have left school.
The New Queensland Certificateof Education (QCE)
The New QCE System• There are significant changes to senior syllabuses.• New subjects will be available – Year 11 2021.• The new senior assessment model combines school
based assessment developed and marked by classroom teachers with external assessment set and marked by QCAA.
• ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) as used by other Australian States and Territories.
• QCE (Queensland Certificate of Education) remains.
Who should get a QCE?Every student who is enrolled in Senior Secondary at Sarina State High School.
The QCE(The Queensland Certificate of Education)
• Set Amount of learning – 20 credits
• Set Standard - Satisfactory completion, grade of C or better, completion, pass or equivalent.
• In a SET PATTERN
• Meet LITERACY and NUMERACY standards
To gain a QCE students need:
The New Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) – Began in 2019
SetAmount

• QCAA- developed subjects or courses• Vocational Education and Training (VET)
qualifications• Non-Queensland studies• Recognised studies.
SetStandard
Satisfactory completion, grade of C or better,
competency or qualification completion,

12 credits from completed Core Courses of study and 8 credits from any
combination of:
• Core• Preparatory (Maximum of 4 points)• Complementary (Maximum of 8 points).
Program
SetPattern
Core: At least 12 credits must come from completed Courses ofStudy.
Preparatory: A maximum of 4 credits can come from Preparatory courses of study.

Literacy &Numeracy
Students must meet literacy and numeracy requirements through one of
the available learning options.
Literacy Numeracy
• QCAA General or Applied English subjects• QCAA Short Course in Literacy• Senior External Examination in a QCAA
English subject• FSK20119 Certificate II in Skills for Work and
Vocational Pathways• International Baccalaureate examination in
approved English subjects• Recognised studies listed as meeting literacy
requirements.
• QCAA General or Applied Mathematic subjects
• QCAA Short Course in Numeracy• Senior External Examination in a QCAA
Mathematics subject• FSK20119 Certificate II in Skills for Work and
Vocational Pathways• International Baccalaureate examination in
approved Mathematic subjects• Recognised studies listed as meeting
numeracy requirements.
From 2019 – Achievement in Units 1 and 2 will be reported as either Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory to QCAA.

contribute to the QCE if the required competence is attained.
Vocational Education
VET QualificationsWhen a student completes or partially completes multiple qualifications from within the same VET training package (e.g. Certificate II in Business and Certificate III in Business), the highest level qualification in the Core category of learning will contribute credit towards a QCE.
To ensure the breadth of learning, a maximum of eight credits from the same training package can contribute to a QCE.
All completed qualifications are recorded on the statement of results.
Every effort will be made to ensure that student preferences are accommodated, subject to student numbers and timetable constraints.
If you have any concerns or have reason to request Sarina State High School waive the pre-requisite, you will need to make an appointment with Ms Paula Mazlin, Deputy Principal, and the Curriculum Head of Department.
2021/2022 - Year 11 and 12 students:• MUST study either English OR English Essentials.• MUST study either Essential Mathematics, General
Mathematics OR Mathematic Methods.• MUST study 6 subjects in both Year 11 and 12. Choose any
combinations of six subjects that match their pathway.• It is compulsory (Syllabus requirement) that students wanting
to study Specialist Mathematics must also study Mathematical Methods.
• It is recommended that students wanting to study Physics also study Mathematical Methods.
What is an ATAR?(Australian Tertiary Admission Rank)
Primary mechanism used nationally for tertiary admissions.ATAR is NOT a grade, it is a rank.
Calculated by QTAC – best 5 subjects.
2 000 point scale 99.95 down to 0.00. (0.05 increments)ATARs less than 30.00 will be expressed as ‘30 and below’.
Indicates a student’s position relative to other students.
No Common Test
Subject scaling applied
English subject mandatory
Used across Australia
An English Subject is COMPULSORYMust achieve C Standard in English to be eligible for an ATAR
English result will not be a mandatory inclusion in the calculation of an ATAR

External Assessment – General Subjects• Common to all Queensland schools.• Conducted in Year 12 - Same time, same day over 17 days in Term 4.• Developed and marked by QCAA.• Assessing subject matter from Units 3 and 4 Only – General Mathematics
and Science Subjects, Drama and Visual Art.• Mathematics and Science subjects will have a weighting of 50% External
Assessment.• For all other General subjects it will assess subject matter from Unit 4
only.• All other General subjects will have a weighting of 25% External
Assessment.• Students will receive a mark out of 100.• At certification – overall result as a mark between 0 and 100 and exit
result (A-E).
Assessment – Applied Subjects
• Results will be based on 4 internal assessment (in-class exams, assignments, essay).
• Exemptions are: Essential English and Essential Mathematics. These subjects will have an external component based on Unit 3 which is set by the QCAA but marked by the school (25%).
• Applied subjects will only receive a Letter grade A – E.

SET PlanSenior Education and Training Plan
A SET Plan is a confidential document, negotiated between student, their parents/guardians/carers and their school.
The SET Plan is designed to map their individual learning pathway through Senior Secondary.
Students will complete their SET Plan with their Senior Enrichment Teacher. Once completed they will bring home for discussion and signature.
Once signed the SET Plan MUST be returned to their Senior Enrichment Teacher.
SET Plan InterviewsDue to the new social distancing agenda we are conducting SET PLAN INTERVIEWS virtually during the week and Thursday 13 August, 2020 will be a day where you can participate in a face to face appointment or book a virtual
appointment.Year 10 students ARE NOT REQUIRED to attend school on this date. An alternative school program will be provided for those students whose parents/Guardians/Carers wish them to attend school on the day. It is an expectation that ALL
students complete their SET PLAN INTERVIEW on this date.Students MUST have completed their SET Plan in OneSchool prior to this interview.
When: Over the week starting 10 August, 2020
Where: Virtually or Sarina Rural Skills Centre
Time: Appointments between 7.00 am – 6.00 pm for approximately 30 minutes
Who Should Attend: Parents/Guardians/Carers/Student
How do I Book: SOBS – A time that is convenient for you
What you will need: Laptop
Interesting FactsStudents who are successful when they finish high school (get employment or
successfully get into university) have three things in common:
They pass both Maths
AND English.
