INTRODUCTION<br />
School leaving age legislation now dictates that young people must remain in education, training or<br />
approved employment until the end of the year in which they would have completed their 12 th year of<br />
schooling.<br />
Statistics show that if you leave school early, your chances of getting a good job later are restricted,<br />
with very limited job choices and lower income levels throughout your whole working life.<br />
With two years of school after Year 10 you will have more career, study and training options open to<br />
you and a better chance of job security. Your future will be influenced by the school courses you<br />
choose. This booklet will give you information on each course offered. Read the information<br />
carefully!<br />
All Year 10 students receive counselling to help them make suitable and sensible<br />
course selections for <strong>Upperschool</strong>.<br />
It is the responsibility of both the parents and the student, to ensure<br />
courses chosen meet the requirements for the student's future career<br />
and training aspirations.<br />
Students aiming for university entrance need to read the section on Requirements for University<br />
Entrance on page 6.<br />
All students should examine State Training Provider (STP) as an option for further study both within<br />
and beyond school. Students will be issued with information regarding STP during their career<br />
development program.<br />
