NEED TO KNOW

QUEENSLAND CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT AUTHORITY (QCAA)

The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) is a statutory body of the Queensland Government that provides Kindergarten to Year 12 syllabuses, guidelines, assessment, reporting, testing and certification services for Queensland schools. All subjects taught in our Senior College program are QCAA accredited to the same standards as other Queensland high schools.

AUSTRALIAN TERTIARY ADMISSION RANK (ATAR)

Eligible Queensland students graduating Year 12 will receive an ATAR. This ranking, between 0 and 99.95, will be used to assess applications for tertiary entrance into courses offered by TAFE Queensland and other higher education providers.

To be eligible for an ATAR*, the successful completion of five (5) subjects (C or better) is required, with a minimum of four (4) being general subjects.

A student’s ATAR will be calculated from their best five (5) subject results, one of which may be:

§ a Vocation Education and Training (VET) certificate III or above, or

§ an applied subject result.

For more information on ATAR, please visit the QTAC website: qtac.edu.au/atar

SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIP OR TRAINEESHIP (SAT)

The SAT program is a government-funded schoolbased apprenticeship or traineeship where students can commence a nationally-recognised training program as an employee while completing their QCE. A training agreement is individually designed in consultation with the student, the employer, the Vocational Trainer, an Australian Apprenticeship Centre and the school.

TAFE Queensland Senior College students are able to pursue a SAT program of their choice whilst completing their studies at TAFE Queensland.

A student taking on a SAT program will:

§ study three to five QCAA subjects and undertake the Mentor Program

§ work part-time

§ undertake vocational training connected to that particular work area.

QUEENSLAND CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION (QCE)

The QCE is Queensland’s senior school qualification awarded to eligible students, usually at the end of Year 12.

The QCE is a broad-based, internationally recognised qualification awarded to young people who have achieved a significant amount of learning (to a set standard and in a set pattern) while meeting literacy and numeracy requirements.

The QCE is a student’s passport to move confidently from school to work, training and further education. It is awarded to students who achieve 20 credits across a wide range of learning options, including general and applied subjects, vocational education and training, workplace and community learning.

GENERAL SUBJECTS / APPLIED SUBJECTS

General subjects are based on syllabuses that have been approved and issued by the QCAA. Results in general subjects can count in the calculation of an ATAR, the most common selection device used by the tertiary sector.

In general subjects, senior students’ learning will be assessed using four (4) assessment tasks. The classroom teacher will conduct three assessment tasks, with the final task being a subject-specific state-wide external task or exam.

Applied subjects are developed from the Subject Area Syllabuses (SAS) and, when successfully completed, contribute four (4) credits toward a QCE. One (1) applied subject may also contribute towards the calculation of an ATAR for tertiary entrance.

For more information visit: qcaa.qld.edu.au/senior

* Successful completion of an English subject (C or better) is necessary to be eligible for an ATAR; however, this grade will only be used in the calculation if it is one of the student’s best five subject results.
