2020 Curriculum Handbook

2020

YEAR 8 - 12 CURRICULUM HANDBOOK

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL At Adelaide High School we are passionate about learning and assisting students to reach their personal best. This Curriculum Handbook is designed to guide you in your curriculum choices as you move from Year 8 to Year 12.

Adelaide High School Year 8 - 12 Curriculum Handbook 2020

It contains information to assist you in making choices which broaden and deepen your educational experience, and to map your pathway within and beyond secondary school. We aim to provide you with important educational stepping stones to lead to success and to a world of choice. The whole purpose behind our curriculum offerings is to ensure your learning experience reflects our school motto: not only for school, but for life.

You will find course descriptors for each year level, vocational education information and an outline of how we cater for individualised learning through acceleration, enrichment and extension.

The Australian Curriculum is the basis of the curriculum in Years 8, 9 and 10. All subjects across all Learning Areas address the General Capabilities and Cross Curriculum Priorities in the Australian Curriculum. The General Capabilities include Literacy, Numeracy, ICT, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability, Ethical and Intercultural Understandings. The Cross Curriculum Priorities focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, Asia and Australia’s Engagement with Asia, and Sustainability.

The senior secondary curriculum, the SACE (South Australian Certificate of Education), addresses the same Capabilities. When you undertake the SACE, you are required to select from subject outlines and familiarise yourself with the 200-point curriculum structure and the compulsory aspects of the SACE. The compulsory requirements are achievement in literacy, numeracy, the Personal Learning Plan (PLP) and the Research Project. The PLP and the Research Project provide you with new challenges and learning opportunities.

This Handbook is divided into year levels from Year 8 to Year 12 and includes a section on Vocational Education and Training (VET).

It is not uncommon for students at Adelaide High School to study subjects from more than one year level at any given time, and so we have provided course outlines in one book to assist you in planning your pathway. We have a commitment to tailoring student learning to your needs and abilities.

If you are in Year 10, 11 and 12 you are strongly advised to gather information from a range of sources to inform future choices. Speak to your family, your teachers, student counsellors, staff at tafeSA, the universities, Career Centres and other post school education and training providers. Use job and career guides to assist you in planning your pathway through secondary school and beyond, and read the SATAC (South Australian Tertiary Admission Centre) guide carefully.

Finally, I encourage you to be mindful of your personal strengths, past achievements and successes and build upon those. Strike a balance between aiming high and being realistic in your choices.

Most importantly, whatever your year level, apply yourself to the best of your ability, as this is the most certain way to get you to where you wish to go.

THE AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM The Australian Curriculum sets out what all young Australians are to be taught and the expected quality of that learning as they progress through schooling.

At the same time, it provides flexibility for teachers and schools to build on student learning and interest. In 2008, the Australian education ministers agreed that a national curriculum would play a key role in delivering quality education and committed to the development of a Foundation to Year 12 national curriculum.

The Australian Curriculum is the mandated curriculum for Years 8 to 10. The South Australian Teaching for Effective Learning Framework (TfEL) supports the implementation of the Australian Curriculum through a focus on pedagogy in the design of learning and teaching programs responsive to the needs of all learners

THE STRUCTURE OF THE AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM The Australian Curriculum is made up of three interconnected elements: • Learning Areas • General Capabilities • Cross Curriculum Priorities.

The General Capabilities are skills, dispositions, understandings and attributes considered crucial to young people’s successful participation in 21st century life and work. The seven general capabilities include: literacy,

Adelaide High School Year 8 - 12 Curriculum Handbook 2020

numeracy, ICT competence, critical and creative thinking, personal and social, intercultural understanding and ethical understanding.

These General Capabilities will be made explicit in each Learning Area as appropriate.

Three Cross-Curriculum priorities are also embedded within Learning Areas: • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures • Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia • Sustainability.

These are designed to ensure that the Australian Curriculum is relevant and prepares students for active and responsible local and global citizenship. More information can be found at: https://www.australiancurriculum. edu.au/parent-information/

PASTORAL CARE The Pastoral Care program supports the Adelaide High School: • Vision and Priorities of wellbeing, learning and culture • Graduate Qualities Consistent in each year level of the program is: • A focus on positive education • Cybersafety and anti-harassment • Coaching and career education

YEAR 8 At the start of Year 8 the focus of the Year 8 Pastoral Care is wellbeing and transitioning to high school. To achieve this goal the students participate in a range of programs including: • Transition Program (an 8 day program at the start of the new year) • Year 8 camp to Victor Harbor • Peer Leaders program • Anti-Harassment program The Pastoral Care program uses elements of Positive Education to assist students in developing the Adelaide High School Graduate Qualities. These are: • Constructive personal and interpersonal abilities • Entrepreneurship • Citizenship • Active global awareness • Effective communication skills • An ability to work as an effective team member • Self-awareness and an ability to recognise and value the character strengths of others Health and wellbeing are a focus of Pastoral Care. Students participate in the Rock and Water program providing a pathway to self-awareness and increased selfconfidence and social functioning.

The Adelaide High School Turn Your Health Around program is an inter-disciplinary program aimed at increasing student participation in physical activity and healthy eating habits. Students are encouraged to participate in:

• The Premier’s be active Challenge • Turn Your Health Around Program including the Dance Off, Matball Challenge and Paddlewall Challenge • House competitions Students are supported in their learning and wellbeing by two Pastoral Care teachers, Year 11 Peer Leaders, a Prefect and the Middle School House Leaders throughout the year.

YEAR 9 The Year 9 Pastoral Care program focuses on relationship building, wellbeing, Positive Education and the development of the Adelaide High School Graduate Qualities. In particular, the development of the Citizenship Graduate Quality is a focus.

Students are required to perform community service, either through a sporting or community organisation or through the school.

The school has developed many partnerships with organisations to provide opportunities for the students to perform community service. These include: • Adopt-a-Grave program with the West Terrace Cemetery • Canteen service, Library service • Ecovision with the Trees for Life organisation • Preparing meals for the Salvation Army

Another focus of the program is wellbeing and health. Students participate in the Rock and Water program providing a pathway to self-awareness, and increased selfconfidence and social functioning.

The Adelaide High School Turn Your Health Around program is an inter-disciplinary program aimed at increasing student participation in physical activity and healthy eating habits. Students are encouraged to participate in: • The Premier’s be active Challenge • Turn Your Health Around Program including the Dance Off and Paddlewall Challenge • Year 9 Prefects’ Soccer Challenge A highlight of the year is the annual outdoor adventure camp to Woodhouse. The students engage in a range of outdoor activities including mountain bike riding, bushwalking, orienteering and team challenges.

At the end of Semester 2, the students prepare and present the first task of their Personal Leaning Plan, the round table presentation.

Students present their learning on citizenship, learning styles, and literacy and numeracy skills to a panel including two staff members and family members.

Students are supported in their learning and wellbeing by a Pastoral Care teacher, a Prefect and the Middle School House Leaders throughout the year.

Adelaide High School Year 8 - 12 Curriculum Handbook 2020

WHAT IS THE SACE? The South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) is a modern, internationally-recognised secondary school qualification designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and personal capabilities to successfully participate in our fast-paced global society.

The SACE has evolved to provide you with more flexibility to choose subjects that reflect your interests, skills, and career goals, using a combination of SACE subjects, vocational education and training (VET), community learning, university, and TAFE studies.

SACE subjects are made up of investigations, performances, and other assessment tasks to demonstrate your skills, knowledge, and personal capabilities throughout the year.

Some subjects will have an endof-year exam worth a maximum of 30% of the overall grade.

COMPULSORY SUBJECTS To complete the qualification, you will need to attain 200 credits from a selection of Stage 1 and Stage 2 subjects. A 10-credit subject is usually one semester of study, and a 20-credit subject is usually over two semesters.

Here’s how it works:

50 credits • The Personal Learning Plan (PLP) (10 credits) • Literacy requirement (20 credits) demonstrated from a range of English subjects at Stage 1 or Stage 2

STUDENT SELECTED SUBJECTS

+ 90 credits Choose and successfully complete a selection of Stage 1 and Stage 2 subjects, recognised VET courses, or community learning.

• Numeracy requirement (10 credits) demonstrated from a range of Mathematics subjects at Stage 1 or Stage 2

+ 60 credits Choose and successfully complete a selection of Stage 2 or VET subjects worth at least 60 credits in total.

Stage 2 subjects are externally assessed by the SACE Board of South Australia.

• The Research Project (10 credits)

PLANNING BEYOND THE SACE The South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC) is responsible for tertiary course applications and selections in South Australia.

SACE completion meets the course admission requirements for most TAFE SA courses, but there are some additional requirements for entry into particular qualification levels.

To be eligible to apply for university, you must: • complete the SACE. • complete at least 90 credits at Stage 2, of which at least 60 credits must be from 20-credit Tertiary Admissions Subjects (TAS)*, and the other 30 credits from TAS, and up to 20 credits of Recognised Studies which will allow you to obtain an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR).

• complete any prerequisites required for your chosen university courses.

• comply with the rules regarding subject combinations and preclusions. *A Tertiary Admissions Subject (TAS) is a SACE Stage 2 subject that has been approved by the universities and TAFE SA as providing suitable preparation for tertiary studies. Almost all SACE subjects are recognised Tertiary Admissions Subjects, except for Community Studies and Modified Subjects.

The SATAC website, individual university websites and the TAFE SA website explain what you’ll need to study specific courses.

LEARNER INTERVENTION The Learner Intervention team at Adelaide High School offers strategic and targeted learning opportunities to students for both intervention and stretch.

The team works in collaboration with teachers to provide quality differentiated teaching and learning opportunities in the classroom setting for all students.

A school-based Speech Pathologist supports the Learner Intervention team to deliver quality planning, programming and resources that are founded in best and evidence-based practice for literacy improvement at all levels of ability.

Students with disabilities have access to a wide range of interventions aimed at meeting individual needs through individualised and tailored learning programs that enable them to access learning on the same basis as their peers.

Adelaide High School Year 8 - 12 Curriculum Handbook 2020

The Learner Intervention team works in partnership with students, their families and other schoolbased intervention teams to ensure access to the most appropriate and timely interventions.

Interventions can include small group learning programs as well as strategic in class interventions with Learning Intervention Officers. Programs can include; Macqlit - a systematic reading intervention program, QuickSmart Numeracy - aimed at developing student fluency in core numerical operations and strong conceptual understanding, MotiVate for social skills development, as well as other small group interventions as required.

CENTRE FOR HEARING IMPAIRED

EXTENSION, ENRICHMENT AND ACCELERATION

Adelaide High School offers students with a hearing loss access to tailored, specialised programs which meet each of their individual needs.

Our aim is to enrich the learning of each student to ensure the best learning experience possible.

This begins in classes where teachers use rich data to analyse learning and differentiate the curriculum for individuals.

Students have access to a range of subjects and are integrated with their peers. Students are supported in a range of ways including in class support, intensive small group programs and have access to Teachers of the Deaf and Bilingual School Staff who understand the impact of hearing loss in the classroom.

Students at times are also offered a line off for additional support which works on targeting specific areas to ensure classroom success. These areas are literacy and language support for all subject areas, numeracy and social skills development. Support lines are staffed with teachers and SSOs who have expert knowledge in these areas.

The ALEAP program is a comprehensive and far-reaching program that caters for students who would benefit from enrichment and extension. It allows the students to remain with their age group while being accelerated in their learning, fostering wellbeing.

Students with high intellectual potential and advanced learning skills in certain subjects can be identified by subject teachers.

Parents and students will be involved in discussions regarding possible options and parent approval will be sought before a student is placed in an acceleration, extension or enrichment course.

As part of the transition to high school, students with high intellectual potential and appropriate skills are identified and encouraged to apply for the Adelaide Learning, Enrichment and Acceleration Program (ALEAP).

Content: The study of Physics offers opportunities for students to understand and appreciate the natural world. This subject requires the interpretation of physical phenomena through a study of the topics listed below. As well as applying knowledge to solve problems, students develop experimental and investigation design, information literacy and communication skills through practical and other learning activities. Students gather evidence from experiments and research and acquire new knowledge through their own investigations.

Content: The study of Psychology enables students to understand their own behaviours and the behaviours of others. It has direct relevance to their personal lives. Psychological knowledge can be applied to improve outcomes and the quality of experience in various areas of life, such as education, relationships, child rearing, employment and leisure.

Content: Students of Nutrition investigate and learn the role of nutrients in the body using current scientific information, as well as social and environmental issues related to nutrition. Students explore the links between food, health and diet-related diseases by using their scientific knowledge and the skills they acquire in their study of nutrition to carry out and design practical investigations. Students have the opportunity to critically examine factors that influence food choices and reflect on local, national, Indigenous, and/or global issues.

They investigate methods of food production and distribution which impact the quantity and quality of food and then consider how these methods affect the health and individual communities.

Students work individually and collaboratively to reflect on the nature of work in research sciences and, in particular, the field of nutrition.

The study of Nutrition encourages students to think about the role of nutrition in their own futures and assists them to reinforce or modify their own diets and lifestyle habits to maximise positive health outcomes.

Assessment: Students are assessed using the SACE Performance Standards.

Students demonstrate evidence of their learning through the following assessment types: Assessment Type 1: Investigations Folio Assessment Type 2: Skills and Applications Tasks

Students taking Physics will study the following topics across two semesters:

The study of VET or Vocational Education Training for Years 10 – 12 students is optional. VET is an internationally recognised term used to describe the education and training accreditations which help prepare people for work and/ or allow them to explore pathways.

By doing VET courses, students are able to gain accreditation which will help complement their SACE. VET courses are available for purchase to Adelaide High School students in Years 10 – 12 though our membership of Eastern Adelaide Schools Vocational Alliance (EASVA). Established in 2019, it comprises eight Department for Education schools.

The other member schools are Adelaide Botanic High School, Charles Campbell College, Glenunga International High School, Marden Senior College, Marryatville High School, Norwood Morialta High School and Open Access College.

Two schools currently have Associate Memberships: Youth Education Centre and Heathfield High School.

Our students can also purchase VET courses offered through other alliances, various trade-training centres, TAFE SA and a range of private Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). All proposed VET courses are based on training packages from the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF), the national set of standards which assures nationally consistent, high-quality VET training and assessment services.

Adelaide High School Year 8 - 12 Curriculum Handbook 2020

Certificate I or II level training generally attract Stage 1 credits.

Certificate III level or higher training usually attract Stage 2 credits.

Students who complete those Certificate III level training courses which are listed on the SACE Board’s VET Recognition Register (given that they contain mostly Stage 2 accreditation) can use this to help generate an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR), required for tertiary study entrance.

Only one such Certificate III can contribute to ATAR generation. The number and level of SACE credits listed below are a guide only, as they are subject to change, depending on changes to AQTF training packages. Note that Certificate III Retail Operations, which a few students are offered through their part time job, only attracts Stage 1 credits.

The most popular Certificate III level courses accessed by Adelaide High School students over the past few years have been Certificate III Business, Certificate III Fitness, Certificate III Hospitality and Certificate III Early Childhood Education and Care. A few courses require three semesters of training and/or the completion of extensive Structured Work Placement. As it takes a lot of time to complete this level of training, it is often best commenced at Years 10 or 11.

VET training is usually not tied to a student’s year level. Therefore, Year 10 and Year 11 (Stage 1) students can, in most cases, successfully complete Certificate III level training in the same way that Year 12 (Stage 2) students can.

However, a few courses stipulate only senior students are allowed to enrol. VET students enjoy the practical nature of courses which can give them a taste of particular career pathways and allow them to develop a number of work related skills. Note that when training occurs on a regular day each week, this can impact on a student’s school subjects and other commitments. VET training which occurs after school can be a preferred option for such students.

Payment is required at the school as part of the enrolment process.

An invoice will be generated by the school as soon as an enrolment is finalised. Families will be advised of any variations. Semester length courses cost approximately $900 per semester, depending on the course selected, whereas full year courses cost considerably more.

Very few courses, in fact mainly those suffering areas of industry shortage, attract a degree of government funding if eligibility criteria are satisfied, and, once again, students will be informed if they are eligible to apply for it.

All purchased VET courses are offered off-campus, either after school or during a regular weekly training day. All entry-level courses have prerequisites, such as good literacy and numeracy and a desire to learn about and develop skills in the industry. All courses stipulate that regular, full attendance, full participation and the completion of set work to a satisfactory standard are required. Competency based assessment is used.

Some courses also require the completion of a stated number of hours or shifts of Structured Work Placement in the industry.

Affected students need to liaise with the school’s Student Pathways Leader, Ms D’Aloia, to ensure they have completed the compulsory Workplace Safety training component and submit the required insurance paperwork to her, at least a week before the placement commencement date.

VET courses run either for the semester or full year, but they are taught by trainers with considerable industry knowledge and experience and who are passionate about their field.

Successful completion of VET can assist students looking to secure an apprenticeship and/or part time work and/or to undertake further training in the field.

VET courses run only if minimum numbers are reached and, in some cases, if funding is available to contribute to costs. Potential students are thus required to choose a full cohort of school subjects during the subject selection process. Upon course confirmation by the RTO, enrolled VET students are advised to consult their House Leader to investigate the possibility of dropping a non-compulsory subject in lieu of undertaking VET. This will only occur if parent/carer permission is received via the completion of the Subject Change Form. In this event, for the duration of the purchased course, Year 10 VET students work in the school’s Library during their allocated non-contact time, whereas senior

students can either choose to work at home, or at school.

Students are advised usually to attempt only one VET course at a time so that they can manage their school studies, their VET load and other commitments.

Semester 2 pre-vocational courses are popular amongst Year 10 students, especially for those considering the Construction Industry or sectors within it, such as Engineering (Welding). Other options include Automotive, and Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy.

Short courses are on offer throughout the year. White Card Construction Industry Training, for example, can be a good introduction for students considering entering a trade.

The other main ones are First Aid, Barista (coffee making) and Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA). (Only students who are over 17 years of age (and preferably 18 years or about to turn 18 years) can enrol in RSA). No SACE credits can be gained by doing a short course, unless they are attached to a certificate of training.

The training given in short courses is included in some VET courses, so take the time to discuss your plans with Ms D’Aloia.

Some senior students prefer to gain SACE credits through the completion of a School Based Apprenticeship, should a vacancy arise in an industry of their choice. Potential school based apprentices have generally completed some VET training and/or work experience in their field of interest and may have a contact that can offer them paid part time employment. Students can make an appointment to discuss the matter with our regional Apprenticeship Broker who can arrange to visit our school upon request and help prepare interested students by perusing their résumé and offering tips and important information.

Adelaide High School Year 8 - 12 Curriculum Handbook 2020

All students undertaking nationally recognised training delivered by an RTO, need to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). Visit http:// usi.gov.au for more information.

All students who wish to enrol in training will need to provide Ms D’Aloia with a printout from the site, which states their full name and USI number, to attach to the completed enrolment paperwork.

PROPOSED 2020 VET COURSES It is impossible to list all VET courses on offer by the myriad of RTOs. The most popular VET courses accessed by Adelaide High School students in 2019 have been included in this booklet.

However, if students wish to investigate VET training that is not listed here, contact Ms D’Aloia.

Courses run only if there are sufficient student numbers and, in some cases, if government funding is received. Note also that any changes to training packages can result in modifications to what providers can offer, necessitating changes to the units of competency being delivered and thus to the number of SACE credits that students can gain.

Senior Adelaide High School students can access SACE subjects offered elsewhere, assuming they have the pre-requisites and high commitment level:

• Stage I Integrated Learning: Animation (10 SACE credits at Stage 1) A one semester course offered through Glenunga International High School.

• Stage 1 Scientific Studies: Aviation (10 SACE credits at Stage 1) A one semester course offered at Glenunga International High School.

• Stage 2 Scientific Studies: Aviation (20 SACE credits at Stage 2) A full year course offered at Glenunga International High School.

• For students who have completed Certificate II Salon Assistant or Certificate II Retail Cosmetics and who are looking to build on their skill set, Stage 2 Journey to Hair and Makeup (40 SACE credits at Stage 2) is an option. It is a full year course offered at Clip Joint Academy. RTO code 2316.

Note: A course fee will apply to purchase VET courses, in addition to the Adelaide High School Materials and Services Charges.

Payment is required at school as part of the enrolment process.

Semester courses can cost around $900, while full year courses can cost in excess of $1,800.
