Frequently asked questions:
- Any 5 courses – these may be a mixture of Level 2 and 3 courses and VET – constitute a full load. All Year 11 students are expected to study an English, Maths and Religion Education course.
- Year 11 students can study four level 3 or 4 courses. One of these must be Studies of Religion 3. Please note that only two subjects from Year 11 can count towards the ATAR. (This is not a recommended load.)
- Four level 3 or 4 courses (you will have a study line)
- Four courses at level 2 or above (provided 75 points were gained in Year 11)
- Obtaining your TCE is important and there are multiple ways to do this. You can do level 3 and 4 courses, level 1/2 courses, VET courses or a combination of these. You will need:
- Standards (ticks) in Numeracy, Literacy and ICT
- 120 credit points
- Most courses are 15 points each
- 5 subjects in Year 11 = 75 points
- 4 subjects in Year 12 = 60 points so 135 points in total
- Most courses are 15 points each
- Students will need to achieve the TCE to gain an ATAR score
- The ATAR is determined by converting the Tertiary Entrance Score gained in each subject. It is derived from: Five Level 3/4 courses (four is possible but not a recommended pathway)
- Three Level 3/4 courses must be studied in Year 12
- Only up to Two Level 3 subjects will be scored from Year 11
- Plus TCE attainment
