Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

where there is sadness, joy.

Prayer of St Francis of Assisi


O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love;

For it is in giving that we receive;

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life

• Religion & Ethics as a 7th Subject

• Borderline Year 10 English students

Parents and students will need to indicate during the SET Plan process that they are requesting support for their son/ daughter in one of the following circumstances:

Exceptional Circumstances:

The Process


Learning Support Alternate Program:

• An alternative to a full program of Literacy, Numeracy and Work Readiness will be offered.

• Students will gain 4 QCE credit points from this combination of Short Course offerings (1 Line).

• 16 QCE credits from other subjects and/or VET programs will be required.

The Process

Rare Circumstances:

Religion & Ethics as a 7th Subject

• A student proposes to study six General subjects not including SOR for good reason. Examples:

ENG MAT Methods Spec MAT PHYSICS CHEM MUS

ENG LIT MAT Methods CHEM M HIST JAP

• They have demonstrated organisational skills, intellect and capacity to sustain performance at very high levels.

• Pending approval through an application to the Principal an independent course of study in RAE may be possible.

The Process


Borderline Year 10 English students

Students who achieved a C+ (Semester 1 Yr 10) may request a review of their English capabilities.

Apply through the AP Senior and / or the HOD English.

The Process

What is ATAR?

The ATAR is the standard measure of overall school achievement used in all other Australian states and territories.

It is a rank indicating a student’s position overall relative to other students.

• The ATAR is expressed on a 2000-point scale from 99.95 (highest) down to 0, in increments of 0.05.

• ATARs below 30 will be reported as ‘30.00 or less’.

The Process

From 2020, the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) will replace the Overall Position (OP) as the standard pathway to tertiary study for Queensland Year 12s.

• The ATAR is the primary mechanism used nationally for tertiary admissions and indicates a student’s position relative to other students.

• QTAC will calculate ATARs for Queensland school leavers.

ATAR

The Process

ATAR Eligibility

To be eligible for an ATAR, a student must:

• satisfactorily complete an English subject

• complete five general subjects, or four general subjects plus one applied subject or VET course at Certificate III or above

• While students must satisfactorily complete an English subject to be eligible for an ATAR, the result in English will only be included in the ATAR calculation if it is one of the student’s best five subjects.

The Process

ATAR Calculation

The ATAR will be calculated by combining a student’s best five subject scaled scores.

Scaled scores will be derived from a student’s subject results as reported to QTAC by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA), using a process of inter-subject scaling

• At least 4 of these subjects MUST be General Subjects

• 3 subjects need to be studied for 4 units

The Process

VET and the ATAR

• Each VET qualification level (Certificate III or higher) will have a single scaled score that can be included in a student’s ATAR.

• For example, a Certificate III in Hospitality and a Certificate III in Business will each have the same scaled score; this will be regardless of the duration or area of study of the Certificate III.

• It is expected that the scaled score for a completed VET Diploma will be higher than that for a completed VET Certificate IV, which in turn will be higher than the scaled score for a completed VET Certificate III.

The Process

VET and the ATAR

Students should choose subjects that:

• They enjoy

• They think they will achieve well in

• Are subject prerequisites for tertiary courses that they may seek entry to, or

• Will help with future career plans

The Process

Can I use my ATAR in other states?

Yes.

The Queensland ATAR will be recognised in all other Australian states and territories.
