SENIOR SCHOOL

The All Saints Senior School curriculum builds upon the Junior and Middle Schools.

Year 10

All students are required to study Mathematics, English, Science, Humanities including History and/or Geography, Christian Living and Health and Physical Education. The remaining academic disciplines of the Arts, Technology, Business and Languages other than English are covered from a range of elective term units.

Years 11 And 12

Towards the end of Year 10, students are required to choose a course of study for Years 11 and 12.

Various options are available:

• Year 11 and 12 students may choose a combination of General subjects, Applied subjects and Vocational Qualifications.

• All of the courses offered in Years 11 and 12 contribute credit points towards the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE). Students need to gain a total of 20 credits to be awarded a QCE. They must also satisfy the Literacy and Numeracy component of the QCE and the completed core element.

• To be eligible for an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR), issued by the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC), students in Year 12 must study at least five subjects, four of these must be QCAA General Subjects. The ATAR is based on the student’s five best subject results. The ATAR is one method that will enable them to embark on a university course.

• School-based traineeships are also available to all students, enabling them to undertake training and paid work in their chosen field whilst still completing their studies at school. After school, students can take on full time apprenticeships or move directly to the workplace.

• An extensive range of vocational programs are available to students. This includes certificates and diplomas delivered within the school timetable as well as the ability to attend courses delivered externally by partner Registered Training Organisations.

• Certificate III and higher qualifications provide students with pathways to university study at a number of universities.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (VET)

All Saints is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO ID 30211) and delivers nationally recognised qualifications using the Australian Qualification Framework. In Years 11 and 12, students are able to select VET courses from a range of options including the following certificates which are offered as part of the school curriculum:

• Certificate III in Visual Arts (CUA31115)

• Certificate III in Aviation - Remote Pilot (AVI30419)

In addition to these courses, students are able to undertake VET courses off-site with external training providers. Some courses available are Early Childhood Education, Health Services, Fitness, Screen and Media and Electrotechnology. Completion of VET certificates provides students with skills and knowledge which will prepare them for part-time or full-time employment. Some courses can also be used as credit towards further study at TAFE or other private colleges. All courses earn points towards the QCE.

Partnered Vet Qualifications

In addition to those qualifications delivered by the School RTO, we partner with external training organisations to deliver the following qualifications:

• Certificate II in Sport & Recreation (SIS20115)

• Certificate III in Fitness (SIS30315) in partnership with TAFE Qld RTO ID 0275

• Diploma of Business (BSB50215) – in partnership with Prestige Services Training (RTO ID 31981)

• Cert II in Hospitality (SIT20316) / Cert III in Hospitality (SIT30616) in partnership with Training Direct RTO ID 32355

These subjects are timetabled in the school timetable in the same way as any other subject. The Certificate III qualifications are delivered by All Saints teaching staff.

School Based Traineeships And Apprenticeships

Students can also participate in school-based traineeships and apprenticeships (SATs) as a further vocational option. SATs enable students to complete a formal qualification as well as undertake paid work in their chosen career field. SATs are available in a diverse range of fields including: Business, IT, Screen and Media, Childcare, Sport and Recreation, Hairdressing, Automotive, Carpentry, Hospitality and Live Production. Students participating in this program will spend one day per week for at least a 12 month period in paid employment and will undertake formal one-on-one training throughout that 12 month period resulting in a nationally recognised qualification. Successful completion of a SAT may provide a QTAC Selection Rank which may be used to apply for tertiary study.
