College Prayer God of the journey, We come trusting in your son, Jesus Christ, keep us aware of your presence, be our strength, as we strive to do the best we can, encourage us to be fair, compassionate, respectful, and to serve others and guide us always in following your way. Bless and strengthen all of our Emmanuel community, as we continue to grow and learn, nurtured by the Holy Spirit. Through all that we encounter in our lives remind us often that you are truly with us. And lead us in faith, as we go forward on the journey. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
Acknowledgment of Country Noongar Whadjak people We would like to acknowledge the Noongar Whadjak people who are the traditional owners of this land we are meeting on today. We would also like to pay our respects to the elders past and present of the Noongar Whadjak people and extend that respect to other Aboriginal people present today.
Key messages for tonight • To better understand the Year 10 to 11 Student Undertaking. • To understand the process of Year 11 2021 subject selection. • To gain an understanding of different pathways through Year 11 and 12. • To understand the potential that each pathway has, relevant to a student’s destination, post-school. • To know where to get support and information to assist in the process. • It is complex so there are no silly questions!
Deputy Principal Curriculum MR PETER SACKETT Year 11 2021 Considerations Year 10 Reports Pathways & Options
Why make Choices?
Pathways
University Ready
• ATAR
• Most direct pathway for University entry
• Require at least 4 ATAR subjects in Year 12 for ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank)
Calculation
• Compulsory Exams
• University Preparation (eg FlexiTrack)
• Certificate IV (ATAR English)
• Alternate entry (eg Portfolio)
Pathways Work Ready • TAFE • Apprenticeships • Workplace • Numerous options available for Year 11 & 12 students
Which course type are you most suited to? ATAR Courses rely upon student's success in assessment types such as tests and exams. A & B grades essential. General Courses, students should ensure that they are achieving the best possible grade. C grades are not necessarily setting the student up for the future.
Reading your report What is the report telling us • Look at the report and assess where you meet the criteria • ATAR courses: B grades or higher • How do you perform in examinations? • What are the attributes telling us about out motivation, application and study habits • General Courses attaining C grades or higher

Opportunities to change subject selection after Semester 2 Examinations.
Limitations to changing subjects after the start of Year 11It does not matter the pathway, success is determined by …
Set students up for success
Placement of a student in a program of study that is too difficult or does not interest them
often leads to a loss of enthusiasm, self-esteem, confidence and eventually to failure.
• It is possible for a student to miss out on both TAFE and University through poor subject
selection.
• There are an increasing number of pathways between TAFE and University and vice versa.
• There is an increased range of ways to access a University education outside of the
traditional ATAR method.Be realistic Students are advised to select subjects based on, not only those that interest them, but “mainly on the basis of those in which they have the background to achieve success” Past history strongly indicates that achievement in Years 9 & 10 is a very good predictor of performance in related courses in Years 11 and 12. Year 10 Semester One results are used to determine whether students have the necessary background to achieve success in that subject.
