Numeracy through Stage 1 Maths = 10 Credits
Research Project = 10 Credits
To achieve the SACE students would have to achieve a C grade or better in all of these Compulsory Stage 1
SACE COMPULSORY SUBJECTS
Achieving your SACESUMMARY:
You need to achieve:
• a C grade or better in the ALL compulsory Stage 1 subjects
• a C– grade or better in the ALL compulsory Stage 2 subjects,
including 10 credits for the Research Project.
10 credits equate to one semester of study in a subject, and 20 credits equate to a full-year subject.
Stage 2 assessments for SACESTAGE 2
In Stage 2, you choose your subjects and courses from those offered at your school.Assessment for Stage 2 is divided into two ASSESSMENT types:
• Internal — 70% of your assessment tasks (reports, tests, presentations, etc.) will be marked by teachers at your school and checked by external moderators. This ensures that marking is consistent across all schools.
• External — 30% will be assessed outside your school. These assessments take the form of examinations, performances, or investigations.
Another Compulsory Stage 2 subject (typically completed at Year 11), is the Research Project. It is a one-semester (10-credit) subject that gives you the chance to do in-depth research on a topic of your choice.

THE SACE SO FAR?
• All Subjects are graded from A to E
• All subjects are assessed using Performance Standards which indicate what students need to do to get an A - E grade for each assessment task that they do.
• Performance Standards also help students understand the reasons behind their grades, and how to improve
• The Performance Standards for each subject are different but they are the same for every student studying that subject either here at HHS or any other school in South Australia
HOW SACE SUBJECTS ARE ASSESSED
Students will need to complete:• Stage 2 subjects and/or VET (total of 60 credits)
• However to gain an ATAR – Australian Tertiary Admission Rank and go to University students will need to study 80 credits, that is 4 full year subjects at Year 12 as well as the 10 credits for Research Project = 90
INFORMATION ABOUT STAGE 2
At Henley High School all students are to Study 4 STAGE 2 subjects.
REASON• Safety net for students who change their mind about a
particular career or university pathway
• To gain SACE ALL students must pass at least 3 Stage 2 subjects (C- or better)
STAGE 2 at Henley High School
Has a list of all the University Courses that are offered by all the Universities that have campuses here in Adelaide.
They also include all the prerequisite subjects that students will need to study to ensure that they meet all the subject eligibility to get into the course of their choice.
Eg if students are planning on doing Engineering (Electrical and Electronic –double degree, at Adelaide University they will need to do Mathematical Methods, Physics and Specialist Maths in Year 12, that means that in Year 11, they should be choosing these subjects.
It also lists the cut off score that students needed to get into that course in 2019.
You can do the same for TAFESA via the www.satac.edu.au site

Future pathways through ‘South Australian Tertiary Admission Centre (SATAC)’
Vocational and TAFE SA entry
• Typically students who successfully achieve SACE can apply for the majority of specialised courses offered at TAFE (which includes numerous Certificate and Diploma courses).
This is done through the SATAC application process that is open to apply in Term 3 of the students final year of schooling
• The TAFE SA Selection criteria can vary for specialised course, however pre-requisite subjects at Year 12 are no longer a focus.
UNIVERSITY entry…requires an‘Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR)’
An ATAR is typically achieved by successfully completing FOUR Stage 2 Subjects (or Equivalent) + Research Project, rather than only THREE required for SACE
Year 10-• 10 credits for the Personal Learning PlanYear 11-• 20 credits for ‘Literacy’, chosen from a range of English subjects at Stage 1 or Stage 2• 10 credits for ‘Numeracy’, chosen from a range of mathematics subjects at Stage 1 or
Stage 2 • 10 credits for the Research ProjectYear 12-• 80 credits from Elective Stage 2 Subjects (or equivalent)-
(FOUR Stage 2 Subjects (or Equivalent))
UNIVERSITY OPEN DAYS
HHS Course Counselling-Recommendations
1) COMPLETE ‘RESEARCH PROJECT’ IN 2019
Reason-Students who do not complete ‘Research Project’ in Year 11, must then complete as a Year 12 student. This is added to their time table an effectively ‘overloads’ their work load…this time is better spent focusing on being successful in Stage 2 Subjects
2) CHOOSE FOUR STAGE 2 SUBJECTS FOR 2020
Reason-Students rarely know what their pathway will be post schooling, particularly current Year 11 students. • Choosing FOUR subjects will still allow students the opportunity to apply for University
as a school leaver• Choosing only THREE subjects, and then changing their mind at start of school
year…can be problematic because the choice of subjects will be LIMITED due to classes being at capacity. Students may not have a choice a 4th subjects.

So how do they know which subjects to choose
How students SHOULD choose their subjects:
• According to what their strengths are• What they are good at• Subjects that they have enjoyed • That fit in with their career plans• They have referred to the 2020 Curriculum Guide• Checked the SATAC Guide to see what course/industry they
are interested in to see if there are any prerequisites or assumed knowledge
• Taking the advice from their teachers/mentors• Listening to what you have to say• Checking the Essential Guidelines for successful SACE
completion• Getting extra help each lunchtime in the next few weeks
What they shouldn’t do:
• Choose subjects because they want to be with their friend
• Choose a subject because they think they will get their favourite teacher
• Choose a subject because they heard it will be easy.
• Choose a subject without knowing exactly what is involved in that subject
So how do they know which subjects to choose
