growth will depend on its most important
asset - young people just like you!
Welcome
Years 11 and 12 are very important steps in your learning. The vast majority of
todays jobs require at least a Year 12 qualification, and continuing your education
and training is the key to accessing your chosen career field.
In the years ahead, Tasmanias potential for growth will depend on its most
important asset young people just like you.
Your future will depend on how you are able to develop and utilise your key
strengths, abilities and interests to overcome challenges and create opportunities
for yourself.
A good place to start is with a qualification such as your Tasmanian Certificate
of Education (TCE) qualification, or perhaps a school based apprenticeship or a
vocational qualification (VET Certificate).
Learning new skills opens up new life opportunities and when you have gained
your qualification you will have the ability to achieve your goals. You will be more
attractive to potential employers and able to bring a lot more to your future job by
having those extra skills and experience behind you.

Whether you decide to continue Years 11 and 12 in your local region or attend a
senior secondary college, its about making informed choices and getting the best
possible start for you as an individual.
This Course Information Handbook provides you with information about the many
options available to you for study in Years 11 and 12.
Talk to your teachers, parents or carers and the other adults in your life about
what interests you and what you are good at, and then use this course information
handbook to help you plan out your study choices.
It is important to remember that learning is a lifelong journey, and the choices you

Pages/Years-11-and-12.aspx) table to find details on subjects
and programs available at your preferred school.
Steps to planning your Year 11 and 12 studies

You need Year 11 and 12 qualifications to be considered for the
majority of jobs being advertised today.
During Year 10 you will work with your teachers to gather
information about possible careers, explore options relevant to
your interests and ability, and plan how you might achieve your
personal and career goals.
Your teachers will help you to identify your ambitions and
expectations for the future, and also be on hand to provide
advice about making the transition to Year 11.
Planning your 11 and 12 program is not about locking in a
decision for your future career. Its more about exploring your
interests, abilities and goals and the types of things you will
need to do in the future if you want to achieve those goals.
When deciding on a program or course of study for Years 11

and 12, make sure you:
Choose programs and subjects that will enable you to obtain
the TCE
Plan a two year program relevant to your goals and interests,
keeping in mind that some subjects have pre-requisites
Read the course details carefully and ask your teachers for
more information if you need it
Use the online Where Do I Study (www.education.tas.gov.
au/parents_carers/schools-colleges/Pages/Years-11-and-12.aspx)
tables to see where you can study the programs and subjects
you are interested in (keep in mind that it is possible to study
subjects and programs at more than one place).
You may choose to do a Vocational Education and Training (VET)
program, TASC subjects, or a combination of both.
Understanding the terminology

Vocational Education and Training (VET)
VET is a style of learning that focuses on learning
through doing.
VET qualifications are recognised nationally, and are
developed with industry consultation and for industryspecific requirements. This gives you real-life, practical and
industry-relevant skills. Most courses also provide you with
the opportunity to undertake work placements so you can
get a real understanding of the industry and an opportunity
to develop tangible links to employment. More detailed
information is available on the National Training Information
Service website: www.training.gov.au
In Years 11 and 12, VET subjects ranging from Certificate I
to Certificate IV are available, with many continuing through
to Advanced Diploma level after Year 12.
Many VET Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses allow
you to articulate through to university, which reduces the
time and money you need for a degree. Where there is an
articulation arrangement, you may receive generous credit
towards your university degree based on the VET study you
have undertaken.
The Office of Tasmanian Assessment,

Standards and Certification (TASC)
previously the Tasmanian Qualifications Authority (TQA)
TASC is the qualifications authority for Tasmania.

It makes decisions about senior secondary courses,
assessment, certificates, qualifications and the application
to these of national and state standards.
Level 1 and 2 subjects are non-pre-tertiary and do not count

towards an ATAR but do count towards the TCE. They can
be preliminary or foundation study for a pre-tertiary program.
More detailed information is available on the TASC website:
www.tasc.tas.gov.au
Tertiary Entrance score (TE)

TASC calculates a score for each pre-tertiary subject.
Your TE score is the combined scores of your best four or five
pre-tertiary subjects over two years. At least three of these
must be completed in your final year of senior secondary study.
The TE score is then used to calculate an ATAR.
Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking (ATAR)

The ATAR is used by Australian Universities to allocate places
to students. Your ATAR is calculated automatically by TASC
from your results in Level 3 and 4 (pre-tertiary) subjects.
The University of Tasmania has indicated that from 2016
onwards, students will also have to meet the standards for
the Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE) to be eligible
for the calculation of an ATAR.
Entry requirements vary by course and by university.
Generally, the higher your ATAR, the better your chances are
of being accepted into your preferred course. That is why the
personalised learning support you will receive is so important.
It will help you to maximise your ATAR.
TASC will advise eligible students of their TE score and ATAR
in late December.
TASC subjects
Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE)
TASC subjects provide a broad range of learning

opportunities which can lead to employment and further
education.
The Tasmanian Certificate of Education is a qualification that

has five standards:
Everyday adult reading, writing and communication
(literacy skills)
Everyday adult maths (numeracy skills)
Everyday adult use of computers and the internet (ICT skills)
Completing a full program as part of your senior secondary
education and training (participation and achievement)
Development and review of plans for your future
(Pathway Planning).
TASC subjects are organised into four levels of difficulty

levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 (with 4 being the most difficult).
Level 3 and 4 subjects, also known as pre-tertiary subjects,
can contribute to an Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking
(ATAR) (more information following).
Students must meet all five standards to achieve a Tasmanian

Certificate of Education.
Full details on the Tasmanian Certificate of Education can
be found at the TASC website: www.tasc.tas.gov.au
A full-time senior secondary course in Years 11 and 12 will

total a minimum of 600 hours per year.
Year 12 students should include a minimum of two pre-tertiary
subjects or a Certificate program.
If you are interested in a pathway to a

vocational qualification
Your course should be centred around a vocational (VET)
certificate program in your chosen industry area. This can lead
you to direct employment, higher level Certificate and Diploma
programs, and university courses.
You can make up the 600 hours by choosing some TASC
accredited subjects to add to your certificate program. These
may complement your vocational learning, and may also include
some recreational and interest subjects.
If you are interested in a pathway to a

University qualification
You will need to plan a two-year course keeping in mind that
some subjects are prerequisites to certain university courses.
Most Year 11 courses should feature some English and Maths
because they are fundamental to a broad range of options
available at the end of Year 12.
You can make up the 600 hours by choosing four
TASC subjects.
These may be directly relevant to your career direction and
may also include some recreation and interest subjects.
How do you know what level to do?

Year 10 students enrolling in Year 11 in 2016
It is really important that you talk to your teachers early in the
year to work out what standard you are at, and if this is good
enough for the types of things you want to do next year in
Year 11.
At enrolment, the course counsellors will discuss your results
and advise you about which subjects will suit you best in Years
11 and 12.
The best indicator is how well you have done in the past.
Look at your results in English-literacy and Maths-numeracy:
If you are achieving an A/B (or C in consultation with
teachers) in Year 10 Australian Curriculum subjects, you
could enrol in Level 3 subjects in Year 11.
If you are achieving a C/D rating in Australian Curriculum
subjects, Level 2 subjects provide the necessary foundation
leading to Level 3 in Year 12.
In the areas of Arts and Technology, a strong interest and
experience in optional classes in High School or a personal
involvement in community-based learning could give you
confidence to try Level 3 subjects.
Year 11 students enrolling in Year 12 in 2016
Discuss your proposed learning pathway with your senior
secondary school/college teachers.
Making up a course of study
How do I enrol?
There is a range of options for studying Years 11 and 12.
There are eight senior secondary schools (colleges) in Tasmania
that provide a wide range of programs and study options,
including enrolment in the Flexible Learning Network (FLN),
which provides opportunities for students to study off campus.
A number of regional and rural schools provide Year 11 and 12
education and training within their local communities.
Some of these have programs available through Trade Training
Centre (TTC) facilities which are designed to provide practical
training using industry-standard equipment.
For details on which subjects and programs are available
in which locations go to the online Where Do I Study tables
(www.education.tas.gov.au/parents_carers/schools-colleges/
Pages/Years-11-and-12.aspx)
Your chosen course may be a combination of these available
options. Discuss this with your teachers.
Year 10 students in government schools
If you are currently attending a government school, your Year

10 coordinator or teachers will give you details about how you
can access the information you need to enrol. Your school will
make all the arrangements for your enrolment into Year 11 and
you will have the opportunity to attend information and taster
days later in the year.
For senior secondary school (college) courses you will enrol
through your preferred college. Your college will then organise
your access to the subjects and programs at the senior
secondary school/college that will deliver your course of study.
For courses that are offered at your local school, enrolment will
be through your school.
Present Year 11 students in government

schools
You will enrol through your current school.
Other students, including non-government

school students
You will enrol through a senior secondary school or college

in your region. You should contact the school or college for
details to arrange course counselling and enrolment.

Enrolling in VET programs
Entry to VET programs usually requires a suitability process.

This is undertaken prior to completing enrolment to ensure
that you commence your VET studies in the most appropriate
course and at the right level for your learning needs. It may
involve an information session, interview and/or an assessment
task or test.
It is a prerequisite for enrolment in most VET programs offered
in Years 11and 12.
More details will be available from your teachers or your local
senior secondary school or college.
The University College Program
Your school will assist you with your

enrolment.
The University College Program enables eligible Year 11 and

12 students to undertake introductory level university units at
the same time or in addition to their TCE studies. Students can
extend their TASC subject enrolment where the TASC subject
curriculum closely aligns to a University of Tasmania first year
unit, or study full university units.
Enrol directly through your chosen

senior secondary school.
Enrol through your current school.
Unit delivery is either college based, college and university

combined, or solely on-campus at the university.
All colleges have close links with the University of Tasmania and
provide the opportunity to participate in a range of programs
and activities including:
University College Program, where you can undertake
university subjects while studying for your TCE in many areas
University of Tasmania High Achiever Program
Course, scholarship and application information sessions
Step up program using university library resources

University College Program: Extension Program for Accounting
74
In 2016 students who are undertaking Level 3 Accounting

may be able to enrol in a University College program
Accounting and Financial Decision Making. Over a series of
weekly tutorials in the second half of the year, your skills and
knowledge in Accounting 3 are extended to cover topics
such as: the structure of company financial statements; the
analysis and interpretation of company financial statements;
and financial decision making techniques used by managers

in organisations. The University College Program in
Accounting complements your current studies and also
provides a HECS-free core unit in the Bachelor of Business
at the University of Tasmania. To find out more, ask your
college teacher.
University College Program: Extension Program for Business

The 2016 University College Program also offers a Business
extension program in this subject area, called Enterprise U.
This unit will enable college students to gain a personal
understanding of the factors that prevent their engagement
in enterprising behaviours. Increasingly employers in many
areas demand that graduates demonstrate a capacity
for enterprising behaviour. Upon completion of this unit,
students will have had an opportunity to develop specific
enterprise knowledge and skills. Importantly, students will

also have the opportunity to develop personal confidence
through which future entrepreneurial behaviour is possible.
Enrolment in this unit will not only help to expand your
knowledge and understanding of this subject area, but also
provides a HECS-free pathway into study at the University
of Tasmania. To find out more, ask your college teacher.
University College Program: Extension Program for Legal Studies

The 2016 University College Program offers an extension
program for Legal Studies 3, called Politics & Law. The unit
aims to extend and deepen students learning within Legal
Studies in relation to the topics of Federalism, International
Law and Law Reform. Online tasks combined with a series
of workshops comprising lecture(s) and various followup activities (e.g. role-plays and simulated parliamentary
debates) will enable your practical
application of fundamental principles and theories in

relation to the subject matter. Enrolment in this program
(at the same time as you are enrolled in Legal Studies 3)
will not only help to expand your knowledge and
understanding of this learning area, but also provides
a HECS-free pathway into study at the University of
Tasmania. To find out more, ask your teacher.
