A Message to Parents, Caregivers and Year 10 Students

During Term 2 and Term 3, students currently in Year 10 will engage in a process to help them plan for their futures. They will be provided with information about career options and will discuss which Year 11 and 12 subjects would be most suitable for their intended career and for a range of alternative career choices.

The subjects that students choose to study for their senior program need to be selected carefully. It is important that parents actively participate in this process. Wise, well considered choices enhance future pathways.

In making decisions it may prove beneficial to consider:

• Subjects you previously have enjoyed.

• Subjects in which you have experienced success.

• Your current skills.

• Subjects which will support your intended career or career direction.

Remember also that employers are looking for students who:

• Have transferable skills.

• Have achieved good results in the HSC by consistent hard work and effort.

• Can collect, analyse and organise information.

• Can communicate ideas and information orally and in writing.

• Can plan, organise and work with others and in teams.

• Can solve problems and use technology to assist their learning.

So don’t narrow your options. You may change some of your career thinking in the next 21/2 years.

Choose carefully and ask for advice if you need it.

We want all students to have a fulfilling, successful and rewarding senior secondary education experience. This commences by making wise subject choices.

During the next few weeks try to gain as much information as possible from staff and senior students and feel free to contact me at any time regarding subject selection or senior school requirements.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Fiona Walsh Principal West Wallsend High School

ANCIENT HISTORY

Faculty Contact(s) Duration Annual Fee

HSIE Mrs Cottrill, Mr Winter, Mr Hughes 2 unit - 2 yrs $00.00

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Ancient History, the historical study of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, seen in their Mediterranean and Near Eastern contexts, spans a vast period, from the second millennium B.C. to the 5th Century A.D. Over this long stretch of time the ancient world was richly varied and creative in its political, social, economic and cultural life. Furthermore the classical ancient world stands at the beginning of western civilization, and though remote in time from the present, is also in many respects peculiarly close to it; many of the fundamental issues of human society which still exercise us today were first formulated in ancient times. The available evidence, though restricted in comparison with more recent periods of history, is constantly being enriched by new and significant archaeological discoveries.

Ancient History explores the unforgettable story of the formative years of the Western world. Constantly fresh, frequently challenging, always entertaining, the study of Ancient History provides a fascinating journey through time to reveal the glories, grief, triumphs, and tragedies of the people, places, and practices of the Classical World. In studying Ancient History you will engage with questions about identity, continuity, change, and conflict in human society. Our subjects investigate the rich tapestry of the cultural achievements of the Classical World: the literature, law, art and architecture, political events, social institutions, thoughts and ideas that embody the civilisations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

Ancient History is a fascinating area of study, rich in wonderful stories of human endeavour, achievement and disaster. The history of humankind from the very earliest times is part of everyone's heritage and the study of the subject Ancient History ensures that this heritage is not lost.

Ancient History.... not only broadens perspectives, but it also provides the transferable skills in analysis, interpretation and persuasion which are sought by high-level employers in the public and the private sector.

CAREER PATHWAYS / SKILLS LEARNED / TOPICS COVERED

• Ancient History teaches a critical and intelligentreading of events and documents, as well as theeffective and fluent communication of narrative,detail, ideas and judgements.

MODERN HISTORY


HSIE Mrs Cottrill, Mr Winter, Mr Hughes 2 unit - 2 yrs $00.00

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The study of Modern History has a distinctive role in the school curriculum as it challenges students to consider the great social, technological, economic, political and moral transformations from the late eighteenth century to the present. It requires students to analyse the causes, progress and effects of these transformations and, finally, to make judgements about them. Modern History is especially relevant to the lives of students, as the events and issues that form its content are, in many cases, still current.

Through the study of Modern History, we can understand why our modern world is the way it is. We can understand the processes of change and continuity that have shaped today's world, their causes, and the roles people have played in those processes. We can understand current events. We can develop all of these understandings through processes of critical inquiry, debate and reflection, and through empathetic engagement with the standpoint of others. Modern History has value because it helps us understand ourselves. It gives us abilities to make links with the world around us.

All of the above is relevant to everyday for living. In our everyday lives, including in our work, we need to closely scrutinize ‘evidence’ of one sort or another, understand situations, place them in a long-term perspective, identify causes of change and continuity, acknowledge the perspectives of others, develop personal values, make judgments and reflect on our decisions. We also need the sort of communication skills that are developed and practised in historical study. Modern History will benefit students considering further studies in social science or humanities subjects such as Journalism, Psychology, Economics or Education but also a range of other areas such as law, business and marketing.

Vocational Education and Training (VET)

51

What are Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) qualifications? VET qualifications are expressed as AQF levels. They are recognised Australia wide. Students may gain an AQF credential at either Certificate I or II and in some instances either part or all of Certificate III depending on the VET course they study and the units of competency they achieve.

What are Industry Curriculum Frameworks? The Board of Studies has packaged VET courses from national Training Packages into courses and units of study for the Higher School Certificate. A student may do a 120-hour course, 240-hour course, and may elect to do a 60 or 120-hour specialisation course.

What is the difference between an Industry Curriculum Framework (ICF) course and a VET Board Endorsed Course (VET BEC)? ICF courses have a mandatory work placement component and an optional HSC exam that may contribute to the ATAR for admission to university, whereas a VET BEC course does not have these requirements. Both of these VET courses contribute to a student’s HSC pattern of study.

What are Specialisation Courses? Specialisation courses are 1 unit or 2 unit extensions added to the 240 hour (2 units x two years) course. Specialisation courses build upon the normal ICF course and deliver more training towards AQF levels. They may be selected during the HSC year. These units do not count towards the ATAR but do count towards the HSC.

Why is work placement compulsory in ICF courses? Industry says workplace learning greatly enhances classroom training. Work placement in a 240-hour course is 70 hours (usually done as two one-week blocks, 1 x during the Preliminary course and 1 x during the HSC course). Part-time work may be used to claim Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) credit. Specialisation courses also have work placement requirements.

Who delivers VET to students? Registered Training Organisations (RTO) who have VET accredited teachers delivering and assessing VET.

What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows students to seek recognition of their skills and knowledge gained prior to beginning a VET course as a result of formal training, work experience, life experience and part-time work. The relevant VET Coordinator at your school holds application forms.

52

What is Credit Transfer? Credit Transfer (CT) allows students to seek recognition of their skills and knowledge gained as a result of previous achievement of units of competency and/or a qualification. The relevant VET Coordinator at your school holds application forms.

How do employability skills relate to VET courses? Employability Skills feature in all units of competency; they are defined as "skills required not only to gain employment, but also to progress within an enterprise so as to achieve one's potential and contribute successfully to enterprise strategic directions". The eight Employability Skills are communication, teamwork, problem solving, initiative and enterprise, planning and organising, self-management, learning, and technology. All AQF Certificates or Statements of Attainment achieved by students provide an Employability Skills Summary that lists the elements of each skill that have been identified for the qualification.

Study in a VET ICF course may give a student access to the HSC and an AQF credential, workplace learning and an ATAR.

Assessment and course completion

Competency-based assessment Students in this course work to develop the competencies, skills and knowledge described by each unit of competency. To be assessed as competent a student must demonstrate that they can effectively carry out tasks to industry standard. Students will be progressively assessed as ‘competent’ or ‘not yet competent’ in individual units of competency. Students may apply for Recognition of Prior Learning provided suitable evidence of competency is submitted.

Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Our RTO acknowledges the experience and prior learning of our students. Students who are able to present transcripts from other Australian RTOs or who are able to present relevant experiences in work may qualify for Credit Transfer (CT) or Recognition of Prior Learning. All applications for CT or RPL should be made to the course teacher.

Mandatory Work Placement Students undertaking this course are required to complete work placement to a minimum hours as specified below. Work placement involves the student completing real work experiences in industry settings. In some courses, in-school events may contribute to mandatory work placement hours. Where this is possible, students will be fully informed upon enrolment.

• 2 Unit x 1 year courses: 35 hours• 2 Unit x 2 years courses: 70 hours• 4 Units x 1 year courses 70 hours• Some Specialisation Courses may require additional work placement

Optional HSC examination Students completing this course are eligible to sit an optional, written HSC examination. The purpose of the examination is to provide a mark which may be used in the calculation of the ATAR. The examination is independent of the competency-based assessment undertaken during the course and has no impact on the eligibility to receive an AQF VET qualification.

Specialisation studies Students may be offered the opportunity to undertake additional units of competency and credit towards their qualifications via Specialisation Studies. Information will be made available to students where appropriate.

N Determinations Where a student has not met NSW Board of Studies, Teaching & Educational Standards (BOSTES) course completion criteria, (including meeting work placement requirements), they may receive an ‘N’ award warning (course not satisfactorily completed). Students issued with an ‘N” award warning will be issued with a rectification which must be completed. Students who receive more than 2 N awards may be at risk of not completing BOSTES requirements and may not be awarded the appropriate units of credit towards their HSC. Any unit of competency achieved will be awarded as part of the VET qualification.

Appeals Students may lodge appeals against assessment decisions or ‘N’ determinations through their school.

Qualification changes and updates Due to the dynamic nature of VET, qualifications may change during the course of study. The RTO will ensure that students are fully informed of these changes and may transition students to the latest qualification during the course. The RTO will ensure that any change will be made with a minimum of disruption.

Employability skills: There are eight Employability Skills: communication, teamwork, problem solving, initiative and enterprise, planning and organising, self-management, learning and technology.
