• External assessment results are added to the total achieved in internal assessments.
• External assessments do not ‘scale’ the internal assessment tasks
• A student in these subjects will go into the external exam knowing what they have been
awarded in internal assessment, however these three assessments will only contribute
toward 50% of their overall result
• This should be considered by students in their subject selection.General Subjects Assessment

5. VET
VET Options
School Based Traineeship Option
VETiS All senior students in Queensland are eligible for one funded course listed on the Priority Skills List. Students may undertake more than one AQF qualification at school, but should understand the following: Credits and duplication of learning Some VET courses at CSHS are incompatible

7. TERTIARY ENTRANCE
What is ATAR?
Calculating the ATAR 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.

Subject Scaling
It is therefore vital that students choose subjects
they can do well in.How Scaling Works For further information about scaling, visit the QTAC website at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JP35lGLqbw
Sequence of Events
VET for tertiary entrance
VET in the ATAR?
Tertiary Pre-requisites QTAC is a tertiary prerequisites, assumed knowledge and recommended study guide for Year 10 students each year. This is available from their website from 15 July 2019 Understanding Prerequisites (PDF 65.3KB)
‘Adjustment’ Factor Schemes QTAC will administer Adjustment Factor Schemes Adjustment factors will be added after ATARs are calculated, according to individual tertiary institution rules, when an applicant’s QTAC application is assessed Additional points on offer for: • Completing a university subject while at school • Studying a second language • Studying Specialist Maths • More advice to come from the universities
Tertiary Entrance
Myth Busting Choosing certain subjects will help my ATAR? • We will not know how subjects scale until after the first cohort has graduated in 2020 • General subjects likely to carry more weight (as opposed to Applied and Certificate subjects) • Students aiming for a competitive ATAR should choose 6 General Subjects • The only way to strengthen a student’s ATAR is performing well in their subject of choice • If you choose a subject that you do not have demonstrated ability in, you are very likely to perform poorly

7. SET PLANNING AND SUBJECT SELECTION
What’s a SET Plan? In Year 10, schools work with students and parents to develop a Senior Education and Training (SET) Plan. A SET Plan helps them structure learning in Years 11 & 12 around abilities, interests and ambitions in order to achieve the QCE.
SET Plan Decisions
1. How will I plan to achieve the QCE?
2. What pathway will I choose?
3. What six subjects will I select to
support this pathway?Subject Selection - Rules
Select SIX subject choices from the Year 11
2018 “Curriculum Offerings Document”:
1. Select an English subject
2. Select five other subjects
These decisions will be based upon:
a. Chosen Pathway
b. Minimum Recommendations
c. QTAC/course pre-requisites
Please note that all subjects and certificates will be offered depending uponQTAC - My Path (online tool) Assists SET Planning to: choose subjects for senior determine ATAR eligibility based on subject selection identify the prerequisites for their intended tertiary program
Consider… Have I demonstrated my ability in this subject?
Consider… Have I met the school pre- requisites to study this subject?
Consider… Am I aware of subject expectations?
Consider… Am I aware of any QTAC pre- requisites?
Consider… Can I meet the internal and external assessment requirements for that subject?
Consider… Have I considered studying a course outside of school Eg TAFE, SAT, BSDE?
Consider… Am I aware of the funding/costs of the courses I choose?
SUBJECT SELECTION PROCESS 1. Subject Selection opens the week before SET Plan 2. SET Plan Week 6 & 7 (22nd – 28th August)
