SECRETARY’S
FOREWORD
Hi 2022 students (and families),
I know that the next couple of years of your study can at times seem
a bit daunting. Great news though: you don’t need to know ‘what you
want to do with the rest of your life’ to make your education work for
you this year. All you have to do is commit to being curious, to showing
up, trying new things and seeing where that takes you.
Have a look through the incredible learning programs on offer in this guide and design
your perfect program, in a way that works for you.
Remember that:
SUCCESS LOOKS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FOR EACH OF US
It’s your journey, and your life. Forget about template ‘success stories’, and make this
year about uncovering or honing your worthy blend of talents and interests. You
know what interests you and what doesn’t; you know the kind of learning that makes
you feel energised versus counting the minutes until lunch. Ultimately, there’s more
than one way to get to where you want to be.
This is your education to design, your year to create, so back yourself. Anything can
happen with an education.
PEOPLE WHO FINISHED FORMAL EDUCATION IN 2020 MAY HAVE UP TO
17 DIFFERENT JOBS OVER THEIR LIFETIME
So, keep your options open. You might not know what your niche is yet, that makes
total sense – you will figure it out as you go. If you do know what path you want to
take, that’s alright too! Take your passion and go for it, but don’t forget to be open to
the possibilities around you – you might be surprised.
TRYING THINGS THAT DON’T WORK OUT IS A NORMAL PART OF LIFE
AND LEARNING
You aren’t locked into the subject choices you make when you first enrol. If you find
that a course is not working for you, chat to your teachers, your family or your friends
at school about your options. There is more than one way to get to where you want
to be, and these days there are more options available to you than ever before.
YOUR WELLBEING IS YOUR FOUNDATION
Be kind to yourself. We can’t operate at peak courage or peak aspiration, 24/7/365.
Never forget to treat your wellbeing as your priority, make it something you talk with
your friends and family about, and that you seek advice on when you feel stuck.
Wishing you all the best for a great year. You are on your way to a bright future –
remember that anything can happen with an education.
Tim Bullard
Secretary of the Department of Education

PRINCIPAL’S
WELCOME
This Guide gives you a snapshot of our offerings at Elizabeth College. As you
read through the pages, I hope you are inspired to participate in many of the
programs listed.
Our programs at Elizabeth College aim to provide engaging learning experiences
that will prepare you for future opportunities after Year 12. We also care about
your wellbeing and will support you to build resilience when meeting new challenges,
so you can flourish at college and beyond.
At Elizabeth College we provide you with a two-year program that will prepare you
for future pathways. During this period we will support you to achieve the Tasmanian
Certificate of Education (TCE), a certificate that shows future employers or education
providers that you have successfully achieved the standards required for Year 12 and
future employment.
Each week you will attend a Home Group session with a teacher who will monitor
your progress throughout the year. Your Home Group teacher will help you to keep
on track with your studies, encouraging you to participate in extracurricular activities
and to seek support for any personal issues. They will support you to maintain good
attendance and help you to plan for future pathways.
Your teachers are keen to assist you if you are unsure about any aspect of your
course. You can ask them for help in class, or you can arrange a time to meet them
during a tutorial slot or at a time that is convenient for both of you. I urge you to
ask for help when you do not understand something, so that you can move forward
with confidence.
A further opportunity for students is our extensive Enrichment Program. Each
year you can sign up for a number of Enrichment offerings including: sports,
camps, certificate training and social clubs. This program aims to expand and
enrich your experiences at College. You will learn new skills, visit new places and make
new friends.
We know that every lesson counts at college, and students who regularly attend their
classes are the students who achieve. That is why attendance and staying ‘Connected
and On Track’ is so important to us. Please take the time to visit our website and view
our video on the importance of being in every lesson: www.elizabethcollege.tas.edu.
