Info

Students interested in University also need to earn an OP or a Selection Rank. Overall Position (OP) The OP reflects a student’s rank order in relation to all other eligible Year 12 students in the State. The Overall Position range is from 1 (the highest) to 25 (the lowest). To attain an OP, students must study subjects classified as Authority subjects. ✦ Vocational Educational and Training (VET) studies including school-based traineeships or external programs or ✦ Qualifications gained outside the school which can achieve a selection rank e.g. some external Music and Drama courses (AMEB, Trinity) (see Appendix 4). To be eligible for an OP you must: ✦ Study a total of 20 semester units of Authority subjects ✦ Study three of your subjects for 4 semesters ✦ Sit the QCS Test ✦ Successfully complete all set course requirements. It is calculated on the results of the students, best 20 semester units (see Appendix 3). Tertiary Selection Rank The Tertiary Selection Rank is given to students based on the successful completion of a Vocational Studies pathway or when you don’t meet the criteria for an OP. This is based on the successful completion of a combination of either: ✦ Authority subjects, ✦ Authority-registered subjects, 5 apple iBooks Author
SECTION 3 Choosing & Changing Subjects • Students must choose six subjects for Years 11 & 12. • The School may withdraw a subject if the numbers choosing it are such that it is deemed not viable. Consultation regarding alternative subjects will take place with students and their parents if this situation occurs. • A student may be asked to revise her initial preferences if the subjects she has selected cannot be accommodated. Consultation will take place with a student and her parents if this situation occurs. • When choosing subjects, be aware of the Recommended Prior Results (see next page). If you are unsure whether a student should be attempting a subject in Year 11, contact the Head of Faculty. Choosing Subjects ✦ Students who choose to commence study of a VET subject after Semester 1 in Year 11 may not have the opportunity to complete all units of competency required for the awarding of a Certificate of Qualifications at the completion of Year 12. ✦ Students who intend to undertake a traineeship must still initially enrol in six subjects, but will drop a subject when the traineeship commences. ✦ Students who intend to enrol in Extension English, Extension French or Extension Music in Year 12 must initially enrol in six subjects not including their extension subject. One subject (not English or Mathematics) will be dropped in Year 12, when enrolment in the extension subject commences. Changing Subjects During the two years of Years 11 and 12, the girls become more aware of their abilities and interests and in most cases, their post-school plans clarify. Therefore, it may become necessary to reconsider the original selected subjects. A Variation to SET Plan form should be collected from the Senior School Centre and completed. All subject changes must be approved by the Head of Senior School and the Director of Curriculum. Written consent to the change is required from parents. Subject changes may only take place if there is a place available in a class. 6 apple iBooks Author
