Enrolment and Course Selection
Claremont College teachers have already
visited your high school and you may have
attended Year 9 College Experience days.
We are very aware that making choices
is not easy and we are here to help you.
Before selecting subjects you can speak
with one of our teachers, who will assist
you in making appropriate choices based
upon your background, interest and
abilities.
Towards the end of the year a team
of course counsellors will come to
your school to discuss your options
in more detail before you make your
final selections for Year 11. Parents are
encouraged to attend.
After enrolment you will be sent an
enrolment confirmation form that will
detail your course. Naturally there will
be some students who will still decide
that they want to make changes. We will
provide times for this to occur before
the end of the college year and at the
commencement of 2022.
Parent Information Evening
Prospective students and their parents
are invited to attend a Parent Information
Evening on Thursday 13 May at 7:00 pm.
Tours of the college will be available from
6:00 pm – 7:00 pm. This session is an
opportunity to meet with the Principal and
staff of the college, and gain information

WHAT IS THE TCE?
TCE stands for the Tasmanian Certificate of Education.The TCE is primarily a qualification
for Tasmanians who have achieved the required standards during their senior secondary
years of education.The qualification has been developed in consultation with a wide range of
stakeholders including employers, industry bodies, education and training providers, parent
and community bodies, schools and colleges, educational experts, and learners.
To receive the Tasmanian Certificate of Education, students must achieve the following:
• Meet the Participation and Achievement Standard by successfully completing 2 years
of full-time study in TASC accredited and recognised courses, and/or VET Units of
Competency.This equates to 120 points, 80 of which need to be at level 2 or higher.
• Meet the Everyday Adult Standards for Literacy, Numeracy and ICT. This is achieved
by successfully passing an identified TASC accredited course or undertaking a TASC
approved safety net test in any of the three areas. A pass in the relevant safety net test
will show that the learner has met the required everyday adult standard.
To be eligible for an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) and entry into Australian
universities, a student must have met the standards required to receive the TCE. Employers
also expect students to have completed their TCE as proof of their capacity to operate as a
young adult entering the workforce.

Assessment and Reporting
Assessment for each subject begins from the first day and continues throughout the year.
Your teacher will build up a record of your work and assessment, and give you regular
feedback. It is important to attend every lesson and complete every assessment task to
ensure you get the best results possible.
Parent-teacher evenings are held in first, second and third terms to enable you and your
parents to meet with teachers and discuss your progress. Written reports on your progress
in each subject are issued in May and August. Near the end of your course you will be
informed of your expected final results in the course. In the case of level 3 and 4 subjects with
examinations and other external assessment, you will be informed of your expected internal
results. Your final results and certificate are issued by the Office of Tasmanian Assessment,
Standards & Certification (TASC).
