The Personal Project The Personal Project is the product of the student’s own ini�a�ve and reflects their experience of the IB Middle Years Program. It is a significant body of work through which students demonstrate the skills de‐ veloped in subjects and through various approaches to learning. Students apply these skills to an area or topic, which they select. The benefits to students are far–reaching and prepare them for the senior years of schooling. Through the personal project students learn how to: �� apply methods of various approaches to learning; �� address one or more Areas of Interac�on such as Community and Service, Health and Social Educa‐ �on, Environment and Human Ingenuity; �� show personal abili�es and skills to produce an extended piece of work; �� share learning through group reinforcement with peers, teachers, tutors, personal project supervi‐ sor and outside mentors. Personal Learning Plan SECTION 3: Addi�onal Curriculum The Stage 1 Personal Learning Plan (PLP) is a 10‐credit SACE subject designed to help students to make informed decisions about their personal development, educa�on, and training. The program of learning provides students with �me to work with their teachers and other experts to develop knowledge and skills in planning for their SACE and their future beyond school. The aim is for each student to achieve success in the SACE and to prepare for work, further educa�on and training, and community life. The PLP is a compulsory requirement of the SACE. Students must complete 10 credits of the Stage 1 PLP with a C grade or be�er to gain their SACE. Typically, the PLP is undertaken over 60 hours of programmed �me in a semester or school year. Our students will generally complete the PLP in Year 10. If students have not successfully completed the PLP by the end of Year 10, they will need to complete it in Semester 1 of Year 11. The PLP is designed to develop students’ capabili�es. Students learn how to develop, implement, review, and adjust personal learning goals and choices to prepare for their educa�on and their future careers and life pathways. The PLP supports students in developing knowledge and skills that will enable them to: �� Iden�fy appropriate future pathways �� Choose appropriate subjects and courses for their SACE �� Review their strengths and areas for development, including skills in literacy, numeracy, and infor‐ ma�on and communica�on technologies �� Iden�fy goals and plans for improvement �� Monitor their ac�ons and review and adjust plans as needed to achieve their goals Voca�onal Educa�on and Training (VET) at Immanuel At Immanuel College we have built a new Trade Training Centre which allows us to deliver VET competen‐ cies towards the Cer�ficate I and II Metals and Engineering in some Technology subjects at Year 10 and Year 11. The Trade Training Centre allows us to deliver CAD/CAM competencies and has a range of new metals equipment including a CNC plasma cu�er, hydraulic guillo�ne, and metals lathes. In the Advanced Manufacturing subjects, the VET competencies are covered while students do a MYP course. The Year 10 Metals and Engineering subject is part of a VET pathway across Year 10 and Year 11. It should be chosen with the understanding that a student will con�nue with this subject at Year 11 as well, with the aim to complete a full Cer�ficate II in Metals and Engineering. It will be offered here at the College in a one day per week format. Please see Mrs Po�s or Mr Maple for more informa�on. 6
All students are required to study in each of the prescribed areas of learning to provide a sound basis from which differen�ated courses can be constructed by the students through a range of subject choices. This differen�a�on evolves from student choices within the areas of learning including: �� Arts �� Languages �� Humani�es �� Technology In addi�on at Year 10 level, all students will study core subjects in: �� Mathema�cs �� English �� Science �� Physical Educa�on �� Humani�es �� Personal Learning Plan �� Chris�anity and Life The subject selec�on process Students iden�fy five units of study across the Arts, Languages, Humani�es and Technology areas. This equates to 5 semesters of study. Please note that students con�nue their Language B and Music subjects for a full year at Year 10 level. Students beginning at the College in 2013 who have previously studied German, Japanese or Chinese will con�nue these languages at one of the following levels: Level 3 or 4 for German or Japanese, and Level 2 for Chinese. Entry to Music subjects is by nego�a�on and based on prior experience. Students will make their choices online via the Web Preferences tool. Students are provided with log‐in details so that they can access the website and make their choices. Students need to choose one of four main op�ons, based on their subjects from the previous year. This will then guide them through the sub‐ ject selec�on process. Please note that the study of Languages is compulsory at Year 10 level. There is some scope for students to undertake study of other Languages through Open Access or School of Languages if they are unable to be accommodated in a language course at the College. Please contact the Curriculum Coordinator, Jane�e Lange, if you are interested in pursuing this op�on. While we make every effort to accommodate students’ preferred subject choices, class sizes and �metable constraints may make that impossible at �mes. It should also be noted that we reserve the right to change the content of the course if necessary. SECTION 4: Subject Selec�on Informa�on 7
