WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT TEACHING AND LEARNING

At Kawana Waters State College (KWSC) our intention is to provide an explicit, innovative and future focused curriculum that prepares students for the 21st Century.

Our College embraces the principles of global education and provides students with multiple opportunities to think, plan and act for the future.

We recognize that what is taught and how it is taught is the key to building contemporary knowledge and we develop and embrace skills and resources appropriate to 21st Century learners and citizens.

Our pedagogical framework aligns with Marzano’s Art and Science of Teaching where students are explicitly taught the skills of critical, creative and higher-order thinking to develop and demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and skills in each key learning area. Our Senior curriculum is based on Queensland Studies Authority (QSA) Guidelines, Syllabus and Study Area Specifications to allow students to seek success in both academic and/ or vocational pathways.

Key Learning Area (KLA) based work programs establish the explicit curriculum to be taught in the Senior Phase of learning. The KWSC senior phase curriculum work programs are devised, implemented and moderated using QSA Senior syllabuses and the Australian Qualifications Framework.

The Head of Department for each curriculum area in consultation with senior teachers is responsible for overseeing and monitoring appropriate curriculum development in the senior phase.

THE STUDENT EDUCATION PROFILE

The Student Education Profile consists of 3 documents:

SENIOR STATEMENT The Senior Statement is a record of all learning achievements banked to your Learning Account. It records the details of where and when the learning took place and the level of your achievement.

SENIOR STATEMENT OF RESULTS Issued to a student at any time other than the end of Year 12, such as when the student:

completes the requirements of the QCE

sits for a Senior External Examination.

QUEENSLAND CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION The QCE, is awarded when a specified study pattern has been achieved, that is at least 20 credits including completed courses of study at a set standard and a literacy and numeracy requirement

TERTIARY ENTRANCE STATEMENT (Eligible students only)

An Overall Position (OP) which indicates a student’s rank order position based on overall achievements in 20 semester units of QSA Subjects. It is expressed as a numerical ranking from 1-25 (1 being the highest).

A field Position (FP) which indicates a student’s rank order position in individual QSA Subjects in up to five fields. Each statement is expressed as a ranking from 1-10.

The Statement of Results is cumulative and shows all the contributing studies to date. More details are contained in a pamphlet given to all Year 10 students. Information and explanation is always available from the school, either formally through student information sessions, parent information nights or informally through individual inquiries.

About the QCE

The Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) is Queensland’s senior schooling qualification. • The QCE is awarded to eligible students — usually at the end of Year 12. • Students can still work towards a QCE after Year 12 or if they leave school. • Learning options are grouped into four categories (see opposite). • The QCE offers flexibility in what, where and when learning occurs.

How the QCE works

To achieve a QCE a student needs 20 credits in a set pattern. • At least 12 credits must come from completed Core courses. • Additional 8 credits can come from a combination of any courses but a maximum of 6 credits from preparatory courses of study. • Students must achieve a Sound, Pass or equivalent to receive QCE credits. • Literacy and numeracy requirements must be met (see over).

Planning a QCE

pathway

QCE planning usually starts in Year 10. • A Senior Education and Training (SET) Plan is developed to map a student’s future education and/or employment goals and their QCE pathway. • Learning options include senior school subjects, vocational education and training, apprenticeships and traineeships, university subjects done while at school, recognised workplace learning, certificates and awards. • Students choose their own QCE pathway — there are hundreds of possible course combinations.

REQUIREMENTS TO GAIN AN OVERALL POSITION (OP)

(a) 20 Semester units of Authority Subjects (each Authority Subject completed over 2 years equals 4 Semester units).

(b) 3 Subjects to be studied for four semesters each (ie. 12 of the 20 units needed).

(c) For many tertiary courses, subject pre-requisite studies need to be met.

Assume subjects are as important as pre-requisites.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

(a) For university entrance students will be awarded an OP calculated from the 20 Semester units (above).

For the OP calculations, all subjects are weighted equally.

NOTE: Because OPs come from equally weighted subjects no subject is more important than any other.

However, doing well in subjects considered to be challenging will usually result in a stronger OP. Students should choose subjects in which they can achieve strong results.

(b) Students will also be awarded FPs (Field Positions). There are 5 Fields made up of subjects with similar

skills grouped together. FPs are secondary selection scores.

FPs are used to provide more information when considering 2 or more applicants with the same OP at the “cut-off” point.

NOTE:

(i) Students should check tertiary subject prerequisites and FPs that may be required. FPs are used

to select between students with the same OP if a secondary selection score is required.

(ii) The school will check eligibility for OPs.

(iii) Students who do not take 5 Authority Subjects will obtain a tertiary selection RANK, based on

achievement in 5 subjects. This RANK is used when the student applies for a place in a TAFE Diploma or University degree course. If planning to go to University it is safer to be OP eligible. Further study may be required post Year 12 to improve a rank in order to gain a University place.

THE GUIDANCE OFFICER AND OTHER STAFF WILL ALSO CONDUCT SPECIAL SESSIONS ON UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE.

11

HEADSTART PROGRAM

Headstart courses provide Year 10, 11 and 12 students with opportunity to get a head start on their career by enrolling in university courses whilst still in high school. Students can undertake a range of introductory and specific university courses, either online (externally) or face-to-face (internally), and combine them with their regular high school work.

You are eligible to apply for Headstart if you are an Australian citizen, New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident, and currently completing a full workload of Year 11 or 12 curriculum. Your school must approve your application. Students on an International Student Visa are not eligible. There are high expectations for Headstart students. Entry into the Headstart program is competitive, and is based on your academic, personal and community achievements.

Headstart is for you if: · you would like to take your school studies to a more advanced level · overall, you are doing well at school (achieving above-average results) · you have a passion or skill in a particular area of study at school · you are mature enough to learn alongside people of all ages and backgrounds · you can manage your own studies and schedule of commitments · you have the academic skills to research study topics, write assessment pieces and sit for exams

Why Study Headstart Courses These courses aim to give high school students a taste of university life. Students can focus on particular areas that may not be offered through their school or take an area of interest further. Courses can be credited towards student's Queensland Certificate of Education or may be credited towards the corresponding senior certificate in other states.

Courses successfully completed can be credited towards further study at university, giving you a head start on your tertiary study while also providing a guaranteed entry into university after you graduate high school.

HEADSTART - University of the Sunshine Coast As a Headstart student, you can choose to complete either one or two courses. You can only study one course per semester. Depending on your choice of courses, you may study one course in Year 11 and one course in Year 12, or complete both courses in the one year.

More than 90 courses within the faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Business, and Science, Health and Education are available to Headstart students. Deciding what course you would like to study may mean selecting a course that interests you most, or one that will best complement your future study plans. Or you may like to choose a course that builds on your favourite subjects at school.

One way to choose a Headstart course is to look at the degrees on offer at USC. Once you find a degree that interests you, look at the list of courses offered in the degree, read the course descriptions and see if they match the Headstart course offerings.

Students are encouraged to speak with our Guidance Officer if considering this as an option.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (VET)

VET is learning which is directly related to work. Nationally recognised qualifications are developed by industry

to give people the knowledge and skills they need to work in a particular job.

Students can undertake VET at school:

as part of their school studies - delivered and resourced by a school registered training organisation (RTO)

by enrolling in a qualification with an external RTO - funded either by the Department of Education and

Training's VET investment budget or through fee-for-service arrangements i.e. where the student or

parent pays for the qualification such

as a school-based apprentice or trainee.

A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a reference number made up of numbers and letters that gives students

access to their USI account. This account allows students to be linked to the National Vocational Education and

Training (VET) Data collection allowing an individual to see all of their training results from all providers including

training units and qualifications. The USI will make it easier for students to find and collate their VET

achievements into a single authenticated transcript. It will also ensure that students’ VET records are not lost.

The USI is available on line and at no cost to the student. This USI will stay with the student for life and be

recorded with any nationally recognised VET course that is completed from 1 January 2015 Students are not

permitted to commence training until they have created and submitted their USI.

Please note

• No certification can be issued unless the student has provided a verified USI

• The VET Liaison Officer ensures the security of USIs and all related documentation with storage in a secure

location with both hard copy and electronic documents and data.

Creating a USI (Before students begin, ensure they have their form of identification):

Driver’s Licence (learners is ok)

Medicare Card

Australian Passport

Visa (with Non-Australian Passport) for international students

Birth Certificate (Australian) *please note a Birth Certificate extract is not sufficient

Citizenship Certificate.

Also ensure that students have a valid email address. This is VERY IMPORTANT as once the application is

completed their USI number will be sent to them via email (use their school email address).

Students go to website http://www.usi.gov.au

Complete the steps below Once you have received your USI please ensure you give it to the Main Administration Officer your name and USI number is recorded

Option 3 There are many Registered Training Organisations that offer nationally recognised training; these organisations offer programs specially targeting students in the Senior Phase of Learning.

Option 4 School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships. Contact the Vocational Education, Mrs Jill McQuarie (Senior Schooling Placement Officer) [email protected] .

What is a School-based Apprenticeships or Traineeship?

A traineeship or apprenticeship commences while you are at school, usually in Year 10, 11 or 12, and compliments your senior schooling. SAT’s enable you to gain a vocational and technical qualification while still at school. It must impact on your school timetable for the program to be considered school-based. Kawana Waters State College schedules a release day one day per week for students to attend TAFE or the work place of their employer. This day is usually a Wednesday but another day may be negotiated as required.

Benefits to students who choose to undertake an apprenticeship or traineeship include gaining valuable work experience, earning an income for on-the-job training, increasing your knowledge and skills base for future employment when you leave school and obtaining a qualification that is recognised nationally and also counts towards your Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE). Requirements and features of a School-based Traineeship or Apprenticeship are:

Attendance at both school and work and MUST maintain a passing grade at school

A training contract which links to an industrial award or agreement signed by the employer, trainee

or apprentice and parent/guardian (if under 18 years)

A nationally recognised vocational and technical qualification

Wages paid for the time spent in the workplace (a minimum of 50 days per year)


18

An Employment, Training and Education Schedule (ETES) completed and approved by the school and

signed by the employer, SRTO, trainee/apprentice, guardian and principal. Or a School Notification

form issued by the Australian Apprenticeship Centre (AAC) at the official sign up.

How much time do I have to spend at work?

A minimum of 50 days per 12 month period must be worked. Most of these days will be made up using the 1 day per week release day offered by the College. Extra days can be made up on weekends or doing block work during school holidays if agreed to by both parties. All hours spent in the workplace must be paid and contribute to your 50 days. SATs do not accumulate holiday leave or sick leave.

Probationary period

All traineeships and apprenticeships have a probationary period of between 30 and 90 days. This is for both parties to ensure they have made the right choice. Students must use this time wisely as only during this probation period can either the apprentice or employer cancel the contract without the other party’s consent. After this time has elapsed both parties must mutually consent to the cancellation of the training contract.

Off-the-job training

The student and their employer will be asked to select a training provider. A Supervising Registered Training Organisation (SRTO) can either be a private or public (TAFE) provider. All parties negotiate the training plan of their choice to best meet their needs. All off-the-job training for a SAT is done in school hours or in the student’s personal time. The employer has no obligation to provide time in the workplace or paid study time for this training, however a representative from the SRTO may visit the workplace to assess the student in their working environment.

How do I become a School-based Trainee or Apprentice?

If you are interested in following a career path in the vocational area through a School-based Traineeship or Apprenticeship your school point of contact for information is Mrs McQuarrie. Vacancies that become available are advertised to the students via their curriculum learning porthole and updated weekly. Students can then download the advertisement they are interested in and follow the instructions or come and speak to Mrs McQuarrie for further information.

Completion

Most traineeships can be completed by students over a two year period while they are still at school. An apprenticeship will normally be completed after the student completes their schooling. If the student fails to complete the traineeship by the end of their senior schooling, their employer may continue to employ the student in their traineeship/apprenticeship and convert to either a part-time or full-time arrangement.

I have found an employer who is interested. What do I do now?

Well done! Come and see Mrs McQuarrie as soon as possible and she will contact an Australian Apprenticeship Centre or the employer to make arrangements for your commencement. Most employers already have an idea of how a school based traineeship/apprenticeship works and a contact with an Australian Apprenticeship Centre.

KEY LEARNING AREA HUMANITIES LEGAL STUDIES



Individuals and groups in Australian society are faced with many significant legal and social issues. To

deal with these issues, people need to understand their legal rights and responsibilities. They need

to be able to access the Australian legal system and investigate how it affects their basic rights,

obligations and responsibilities. Informed citizens are better able to constructively question and

contribute to the improvement of laws and legal processes.

In Legal Studies, students develop an understanding of the ways in which the legal system can affect

the lives of Australian citizens. By examining historical and social factors that have led society to

create a legal system, students develop knowledge and understanding of the frameworks which

regulate and shape our society. By analysing Australian and international legal systems, students

consider the impacts that legal decisions can have on Australian society and how diverse groups

influence and are influenced by the legal system. A course of study in Legal Studies can establish a

basis for further education and employment in the fields of law, law enforcement, criminology,

justice studies, social work, government, corrective services, business, education, economics and

politics.
