At Woodridge State High School, our vision for our students is that they leave Empowered,ResilientandWorldChanging,leadingourcommunitytobeempowered,connectedandfuture

focussed. Our mission each day is to provide a thriving, agile teaching and learning environment.

Message from the Principal

In preparing for your future, Year 10 will see you and your parents making important decisions about your Senior Schooling Pathway at Woodridge State High School. The subjects you choose to study in both Year 11 and 12 are instrumental in ensuring the next steps you take lead to a successful first step towards your future after high school.This handbook contains valuable information about Year 11 and 12 at Woodridge State High School. I cannot stress this next point enough — it is important that both you and your parents, after reading this handbook, actively discuss what you aim to achieve after completing Year 12. The subjects you choose are the pathway you will take to get to your goal. This is an important decision that should be made with those in your life that will support you over the coming years.Your parents understanding of the career path you wish to follow, as well as their support of you, are critical aspects of the subject selection process. This message will be reinforced throughout 2020 at the Year 10 Transition Events.In addition to this I must emphasise to you that it is important to have a realistic view of the goals you will achieve throughout Senior and after Year 12. It is important that you listen to your Teachers, Student Performance, Empowerment and Culture Heads of Department (Kim Tonges and Veronica Jukic), and Deputy Principal’s (Nathan Shonhan and David Cooke) and base your subject selections on the advice you receive from these key staff members who are very experienced in supporting you to achieve your goals.Prerequisite results indicate the level of achievement that must be attained to experience success in the senior subject it is required for. In order to study senior subjects that have a prerequisite with entry requirements, the defined result must be achieved. If you do not achieve the prerequisite result, it is highly likely that you are not at the level required to engage with the course successfully at this time. Prerequisites may also determine that an alternative subject would be a more appropriate choice. School staff can assist you to make these decisions to provide you with the most successful pathway plan towards your goals.

Your Year 10 results are also an incredibly important indicator of whether you will be successful in Senior Subjects. Choosing which subjects you will study in Year 11 and 12 is not a random process and should not be taken lightly. Use your Year 10 results as a guide when choosing senior subjects you are both interested in, and have demonstrated success in. It is important you have a clear sense of direction and purpose as this commitment to senior subjects will span 2 years and will lead you to what you wish to achieve after you graduate. In addition to this, it will increase your depth of knowledge and give you the skills you require to be a successful life-long learner. This commitment will allow you to attain your Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and ensure your success after Year 12.In summary your job is to:• read this Handbook very carefully;• involve your parents in all discussions;• choose subjects that you are capable of achieving success in, and will

enjoy;• listen to key staff in the school;• achieve the prerequisite result by the end of Year 10 to be eligible to

study that subject in Senior;• use your Year 10 results as a guide when selecting Senior Subjects;• have a clear and realistic sense of what you want to achieve after Year

12;• select subjects that will lead you to attaining your post-high school goals;

and• commit to your study in Year 11 and 12 which entails attendance and

learning behaviours.I wish you every success, both for this year and beyond in Senior. I hope you find the next two years both challenging and rewarding, and I look forward to celebrating your achievements at the conclusion of Year 12 — your graduation!

At Woodridge State High School, we acknowledge that young Queenslanders in the 21st century need to be:

• Innovators

• Entrepreneurs

• Lifelong Learners, and

• Personal and social skills

• Communication skills

• Collaboration and teamwork

• Creative and critical thinking, and

• Information and Communication Technologies Skills.

All learning at Woodridge State High School is underpinned by:

• literacy — the set of knowledge and skills about language and texts essential for understanding and conveying content.

As part of the Woodridge State High School seven to certainty guarantee, all senior students at Woodridge State High School will participate in learning that is underpinned by:

• Applied learning — the acquisition and application of knowledge, understanding and skills in real world or lifelike

contexts• Community connections — the

awareness and understanding of life beyond school through authentic, real-world interactions by connecting classroom experience with the world outside the classroom

• Core skills for work — the set of knowledge, understanding and non-technical skills that underpin successful participation in work.

This booklet is a guide for students progressing to Year 11 at Woodridge State High School. The task of selecting your pathway or course of study in Senior is not easy, and we encourage parents/guardians to be involved in this decision–making process. The selection of subjects should be made only after careful research and consideration, as the decisions made will have a major influenceonyourcareerandfuture.

It is essential that senior students at Woodridge State High School have a clear understanding of our school commitment to personal excellence through living and demonstrating our school values of Respect, Responsibility, Safety and Learning each day. It is an expectation at Woodridge SHS that students will work towards being their personal best each day through hard work and dedication to their senior studies, so that they may prepare themselves for the demands of their futures.
