The certificatewill only be issued to students who havestudied a course approved by the TQAand who have been assessed under theAuthority’s administration according to theassessment procedures as detailed in thecourse and in the TQA handbook.To get the Tasmanian Certificate ofEducation (TCE), students must completethe equivalent of a two year program ofsenior secondary studies, develop andreview plans for their future, and meet aset of standards for everyday adult reading,writing, communication, maths, use of acomputer and the internet.These standards will be met throughstudying TCE, TQA accredited courses,vocational education and training (VET)programs and other TQA endorsed courses.To assist in this process the TQA has giveneach type of learning a ‘credit point’ value.A credit point value shows the amount oflearning at a set standard that can counttowards Senior Secondary Graduation(ie to be issued with a TCE). To meet theparticipation and achievement standardfor Senior Secondary Graduation a studentwill need to have 120 credit points in seniorsecondary education and training, withat least 80 credit points in studies rated atdemand level 2.For more information about credit pointsplease refer to the following web page:www.tqa.tas.gov.auTCE CoursesThe TQA provides courses in a wide rangeof subjects. Each course contains a shortdescription of the subject, a statementdetailing the learning objectives, details ofthe knowledge and skills which are to bedeveloped, the assessment criteria and therules for determining students’ awards.• B courses are designed for subjects ofapproximately 100 hours (size value10 points)• A courses are designed for subjects ofapproximately 50 hours (size value 5points)Students’ awards in B and A coursesand non TQA3 courses are determinedfrom schools’ internal assessments. Astudent’s award in all Year 12 and someYear 11/12 TQA3 courses is determinedfrom a combination of internal and externalassessments. TQA3 courses are Year 11/12and Year 12 C courses which are approvedby the University of Tasmania as tertiaryadmission subjects.Senior Secondary LevelsComplexity levels will be added to the titlesof all TQA courses. These courses fall intothe categories of Level 1 to 3 with 3 beingthe most demanding. All TQA 3 subjectsare subjects that count towards a TE Score.AwardsThere are five awards which are based onstudents’ achievements against the criteriastated in the course. A successful studentreceives one of the following awards foreach course:EA Exceptional AchievementHA High AchievementCA Commendable AchievementSA Satisfactory AchievementPA Preliminary AchievementTertiary Entrance (TE) ScoresFor all TQA3 courses, students applyingfor university admission who achieve anSA or better will receive a score calculatedon the basis of the ratings they receiveand the degree of difficulty of the subject.Year 12 students eligible for universityentrance will receive a statement indicatingtheir Australian Tertiary Admission Rank(ATAR).fu r t H e r tr a i n i n G a n d sk ills de v e l o p m e n tSouthern Catholic Colleges TradeTraining CentreWe’re off and running! Many peoplemay have noticed the large new buildingextension opposite the Bosco Centre on theGlenorchy Campus but you may not haveseen the new kitchen and workshops on theHobart Campus. Both these developmentsare a result of the Federal funding receivedby GYC under the Trade Training Centresin Schools Programme. These developmentsare only the tip of the iceberg as, like thetitle suggests, the Trade Training Centre(TTC) is comprised of a consortium ofcolleges. Each college has completed, oris currently constructing, new buildings,or refurbishing old buildings to house agreat range of new equipment within theirCollege grounds.The Southern Catholic Colleges TTC is thefirst non-government TTC in SouthernTasmania and is a consortium comprised ofSt James College, St Virgil’s College, MountCarmel College, St Mary’s College, SacredHeart College, MacKillop College, DominicCollege and Guilford Young College. TheTTC program runs over ten (10) years withtwo aims:• to encourage greater participationfrom students in Years 9 to 12 invocational education and training inthe areas in which Tasmania currentlyhas a current skill shortage and• to help bolster retention rates ofstudents to complete Years 11 and 12.a n d at t a i n m e n t o f QualifiCationsThrough the TTC we can now offer morestudents the opportunity to completenationally recognised Certificate Iqualifications in Hospitality, Engineering,Hairdressing, Horticulture, Constructionand Automotive while they are still atsecondary school. Progressively thisgreat opportunity will expand to Year 9students and the qualifications will growto more Certificate II and even CertificateIII qualifications being available in someindustry areas. The gaining of up-to-datetechnical expertise while continuing withtheir normal education will no doubtfurther enhance our students’ futureemployment opportunities, whenever it isthey choose to enter the work force.As this is a new concept in 2010, Year9 students will be offered “taster”programmes, Year 10s will undertake morestructured training and assessment in unitsfrom Certificate I qualifications and Years11 and 12 are completing full qualificationsthis year. As we progress, it is anticipatedthat the teaching and learning opportunitieswill not be restricted to students’ ownschools as certain components of coursesmay entail the use of specialist facilities thatare only available in another consortiumschool. Several industry partnershipshave already been established and thesewill be continually expanding. Industryinput will also come in through structuredwork placements and the formation ofcooperative partnerships between industryand all the consortium schools to identifynew directions in future jobs as well asestablishing pathways into apprenticeshipsand other employment for our students.GYC is the Lead School in the consortiumand the Registered Training Organisation(RTO) for our TTC. The Board hasappointed Lesley Hazelwood to administerthe TTC’s day-to-day running to ensurethat the RTO continues to meet all theAustralian Quality Training Frameworkstandards.

It is designed to introduce studentsto some of the most significant issues andideas of our universe. Different religious andphilosophical perspectives have attemptedto explain why we are here and how we areto live our lives. There are many questionsthat have been explored by religion andphilosophy throughout human history andcontinue to trouble us in our modern world.Can the universe be explained by intelligentdesign or are we the product of randompatterns? What is ethical behaviour? Whatis justice? Can we explain evil and suffering?How should we live our lives? What istruth? Or reality? What is a mind? What isa human person? How should our answersaffect our decisions?The course encourages debate and reasonedthinking, as well as self-directed research.Students enjoy the opportunity to explorethe deep value of many perspectivesoutside their experience. Critiquing andevaluating the presentation of ideas tobuild an argument is an essential life skilldeveloped in this course. Students grow intheir appreciation of the major ReligiousTraditions studied in the programmeand have opportunity to gain a thoroughunderstanding of the teachings, stories,expressions and culture of these ReligiousTraditions.sC i e n C eBackground Year 11/12 Year 11/12Year 10Top level ScienceYear 10Middle level ScienceApplied Science (TasmanianNatural Resources) TQA 3Size value: 15 points (150 hours)University entrance subjectLIFE SCIENCE TQA 2150 HoursThis subject is for those students interestedin the natural resources that Tasmaniahas to offer.
