Do your best with what you have available to you and seek advice and opportunities wherever you can. Everything is there for the taking! Welcome 2019 is an exciting time to be starting Year 11 or embarking on your final year of school. There is no longer a one-size-fits-all approach to study at school, and there are a number of different ways to structure your courses to suit your strengths and aspirations. Completing Year 12 gives you a meaningful qualification that will open doors to a variety of options for you beyond school. Many of you may already know what you want to do when you finish school, but many of you may not have a firm plan just yet. There are many different options to plan for the future you would like. If you are not sure what you want to do or what your options are, talk to your teachers, parents or carers, look at the information you have gathered through My Education, use the information in the Guide and visit www.anything.tas.gov.au, which includes information about what choices are available. Schools and colleges offer a lot of flexibility, diverse practical and classroom-based subjects and extracurricular activities, some of which you might not have even considered. You can choose a broad range of study options that allow you to consider a variety of career-paths once you complete school as a way of keeping your options open, or you can make targeted choices to a specific area or work sector that you are interested in. The most important thing is that you take control of your final years of school in order to get what you want out of your learning. This will be a time of growth where you will be learning about what you want out of life and how to achieve it, this applies not only in school but in your personal life as well. It’s important to take time to look after your physical and mental health. Draw on the support of those around you, speak with your family, friends or teachers about anything that concerns you or you are not sure about and ask questions and seek advice and/or help when you need it. Most of all, enjoy this time and use it to set yourself up for a successful and fulfilling future. Do your best with what you have available to you and seek advice and opportunities wherever you can. Everything is there for the taking! All the best for your studies in 2019 and beyond.

  • State of Tasmania Years 9 – 12 Education Review
    STATE OF TASMANIA YEARS 9 – 12 EDUCATION REVIEW Submission by Eleanor Ramsay and Michael Rowan ATTACHMENT 1 1 Using MySchool to benchmark Tasmanian Year 12 attainment rates against similar schools in other states Prof Eleanor Ramsay and Prof Michael Rowan, June 2016 [Minor correction 2 July 2016 – see note (2), page 24.] Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within. Stephen Jay Gould PREAMBLE Prof Alan Reid, in his defence of the importance of public education, Building our nation through public education, writes Apart from denying individuals the chance to develop to their fullest potential, there is now overwhelming evidence demonstrating the deleterious effects of educational inequality on social and economic outcomes and political participation. Productivity falls, participation in civic life is diminished, and social dislocation is greater. Since education is one of the most important determinants of levels of inequality, it is clear that there is need for urgent action to improve equity in Australian schooling. The kind of evidence for inequality in Australian schooling Prof Reid would have in mind compares the outcomes for students in wealthier schools in wealthier communities with the outcomes for students in poorer schools in poorer communities. This evidence is well known, and is the basis for attempts to reduce inequality in schooling, most recently by the Gonski funding reforms. In what follows we compare Tasmanian schools to like schools elsewhere in Australia.

  • Bn 5/14 Qualifications Authority
    OFFICE OF THE TASMANIAN BN 5/14 QUALIFICATIONS AUTHORITY BRIEFING NOTE FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, THE TASMANIAN QUALIFICATIONS AUTHORITY SUBJECT: Technical Graphics – Foundation, TQA level 2 PURPOSE: To seek accreditation of the proposed courses. BACKGROUND: At its meeting of 5 June 2013 the Authority decided that work on a replacement course in this area was required. At its meeting of 2 October 2013 (Agenda Item 2.3) the Authority noted work required and specifications related to development of a replacement course in Technical Graphics – Foundation TQA level 2 (2.3 Attachment A at p.8). The Specifications are given at Attachment A. Work on developing a replacement course was undertaken by a group of writers supported by the Department of Education. An Accreditation Submission was sent to the Office on 20 December 2013 (Attachment B). The proposed course was analysed against the Specifications. Some issues were identified (Attachment C). The Office undertook refinement of the course document to address issues noted in the initial analysis. Actions included: • clarifying criteria and standards • organising Course Content and clarifying terms such ‘the first principles’. Mr Ken Laughlin (Hobart College) provided the Office with technical advice and helped us in communications with the writing team. Because of the technical nature of the course we published a draft of the document for general comment in the period 7 to 17 March 2014. No comments were received. The course document was published as an Exposure draft for comment as part of the accreditation process in the period 24 March to 7 April 2014. No comments were received.
