It is written to help Year 10 students make choices about their Year 11 and 12 studies so that they can plan their pathways towards tertiary study. VICTER provides information about entrance requirements for courses commencing in 2018 in universities, TAFE providers and independent tertiary colleges that participate in the VTAC system. Each institution that accepts applications and offers through VTAC has listed the courses it plans to offer in 2018 (as at 30 June 2015). For each course that has prerequisites, the institution lists the prerequisites and the selection criteria. Courses without prerequisites are listed under each institution. There are hundreds of courses in the VTAC system without prerequisites. This online publication will be updated annually so students can access the most up to date course prerequisites. To stay in touch with amendments, students are also encouraged to subscribe to one of VTAC’s social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter or the blog. Prerequisites cannot be made harder after 31 October 2015. However changes that simplify prerequisites without disadvantaging students can continue to be made until June 2017.

  • Performance Reporting and Public Accountability
    PM59 Information for CIP Buckingham, Jennifer CIS Policy Monograph 59 Sydney: The Centre for Independent Studies About the Author Jennifer Buckingham is a policy analyst at The Centre for Independent Studies. About the Paper There is very little information available to parents or the general public about the performance of government and non-government schools in Australia. In this monograph Jennifer Buckingham calls for a consistent, fair and meaningful system of reporting and publishing this material which will enable parents to make informed choices about which school is best for their child. It will also serve to keep schools not only accountable to the government (which is currently the case), but also to the public whose taxes sustain the public education system. Critics of school reporting argue that it would create unhealthy competition between schools and disadvantage lower performing schools. However, a school that is identified as performing badly should be recognised and given assistance accordingly, for the benefit of teachers, and ultimately the students in improving their level of education. Buckingham outlines the current schools performance testing measures in all states in Australia from primary to secondary school. She explores the principles of school reporting and factors which need to be considered: the appropriate academic (numeracy and literacy) indicators to be used; a school’s ‘value-added’ analysis (how much a school improves on students performance); socioeconomic differences between schools; including ‘uncertainty intervals’ (calculating a range of scores within which a school can fall); and measuring the overall performance of a school, not only academic, but also physical and social provisions.

  • Redesigning the Secondary–Tertiary Interface, Queensland Review Of
    Redesigning the secondary–tertiary interface Queensland Review of Senior Assessment and Tertiary Entrance Report submitted to the Queensland Minister for Education, Training and Employment By the reviewers Gabrielle Matters and Geoff N Masters Australian Council for Educational Research October 2014 Second Edition Cover image: Kite Flying Ian Fairweather, 1958 Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane Synthetic polymer paint and gouache on four sheets of cardboard on hardboard, 194 x 129.4 cm. The graphic used in this report is by Ian Fairweather (1891–1974), considered a giant among Australian painters and revered by fellow artists. Fairweather lived for twenty years in a hut on Bribie Island, Queensland, where this artwork was created. A Scottish-born artist, Fairweather’s work is shaped by European modernism. He was also drawn to Asia, living in Shanghai and Peking in the 1930s, and along with his study of Chinese writing, developed a distinctive linear style. Kite Flying was chosen as a graphic for the Queensland Review of Senior Assessment and Tertiary Entrance. This work represents a modern piece steeped in history, distinctive in design and earthy colour tones, and by a renowned local artist with a global perspective. It is an abstract artwork capturing the free-flowing adventures and childhood associations of flying a kite, which calls us to focus on the young adults, those in their final years of schooling, who experience senior assessment and seek entry to tertiary institutions now and into the future. © Ian Fairweather/DACS.
