Year 10 begins a very important<br />
phase in a student’s academic<br />
career. During Year 10 a number of<br />
things need to take place to ensure<br />
that young people are on the best<br />
academic pathway suited for their<br />
preferred career or future studies.<br />
During Year 10 students need to be<br />
registered for a Learner Unique<br />
Identifier (LUI) number, complete a<br />
Senior Education Training Plan<br />
(SETP) and select their senior<br />
subjects.<br />
Our Distance <strong>Riverside</strong> Education Distance Head Education staff take care of all these details and we work closely with<br />
Rev David Jeffs<br />
our Year 10 students to assist them during this transitional time. This process is a very important<br />
one as the correct selection of subjects at this stage will ensure that young people are provided<br />
with future educational and vocational opportunities. <strong>Riverside</strong> Specialist Distance Teachers Education works with<br />
our Home-Schooling students and supervisors in selecting<br />

<strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>College</strong> Senior speciality teachers deliver the senior subjects and use mostly online<br />
teaching methods such as Podcasting, Vodcasting, Webinnars, Discussion Forums, Blogs and<br />
Wikis. The students access their school work through a virtual classroom where they interact<br />
with their distance education students as well as <strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>College</strong> campus students. One of the<br />
most engaging methods our students enjoy is the live web casting which is done directly from<br />
our day school classes. this provides an authentic class experience and an opportunity for<br />
important socialisation throughout the learning experience.<br />
At <strong>Riverside</strong> Distance Education we offer<br />
Queensland Studies Authority (QSA)<br />
approved programs.<br />
This means that our students will be<br />
enrolled with the QSA for a learning<br />
account and our teachers will negotiate<br />
with students a senior academic pathway<br />
that will, upon successful completion,<br />
qualify them for a Queensland Certificate<br />
of Education (QCE).<br />
