2025 The Senior Landscape and SET plan preparations.pptx
- 1. SET planning, QCE, pathways and subject selection
- 3. Learning intentions: In this session we will: • discuss the importance of SET Planning • unpack the QCE system • explore different senior school pathways Success criteria: By the end of this session, you should: • understand the SET Plan process • understand the requirements to achieve a QCE. • know the difference between an ATAR and Rank pathway • know the difference between prerequisites and recommended knowledge • know the SET planning timeline and process
- 5. The purpose of Set Planning Plan your Senior Schooling to start building your future (QUT For Teachers: Guiding students to choose their destinations, n.d.)
- 6. What is a SET plan? • Senior Education and Training Plan • Mandatory - state required (10 into 11 and ongoing) • Parent, Student and Mentor (partnership) Aims: • Help students plan for and achieve their post-school goals and articulate to a pathway • Help students develop the skills that they will need to be successful in their chosen pathway • Risk manage learning around abilities, interests and ambitions
- 7. Key Goals All students achieve QCE All students to achieve the best possible Rank or ATAR Develop a Post School Transition Plan – Intentional and Purposeful
- 8. How do you qualify for a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE)? • Pass a unit in any Maths or English • C or better, competency • 12 Completed Core • 20 Credits Set Amount Set Pattern Literacy and Numeracy Set Standard Students can start banking QCE points fromYear 10. Applied General Certificate II, III and IV courses The Diploma (maximum 8 points) is complementary not CORE. Cert I’s are in the Preparatory category, not CORE.
- 9. QCE – Set Amount and Pattern Core Types Total QCE Points – assuming successful completion Examples General Subjects 4 points (1 for Unit 1, 1 for Unit 2, 2 for Unit 3 and 4) General Maths, Maths Methods, Specialist Maths English, English Literature, Design, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Modern History, Ancient History, Psychology, Visual Art, Drama, Study of Religion, Music, Economics Applied Subjects 4 points (1 for Unit 1, 1 for Unit 2, 2 for Unit 3 and 4) Essential English, Essential Maths, Religious Education, Visual Arts in Practice Certificate II Qualifications 4 points Cert II Business, Cert II Sport and Recreation, Cert II Skills for Work and Vocational Pathways, Cert II Hospitality Certificate III Qualifications 8 points (maximum number of QCE points for 1 course) Cert III Business, Cert III Fitness, Cert III Hospitality Cert IV / Diploma Cert IV Crime and Justice, Diploma Business
- 10. ATAR: What is it and how do you qualify? Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank 2000 rungs: 99.95 - .05 (ATARs under 30 not published) For students seeking entry into University – particularly in competitive courses above 80 For students seeking to study internationally or outside Queensland For students considering the Army Students best suited to this option are those who have a GPA of 10 (B) or higher in General subjects atYear 10 (or could achieve that in the subjects that they choose at Senior)
- 11. 5 GENERAL SUBJECTS 4 GENERAL SUBJECTS + 1 APPLIED STUDENTS MUST CHOOSE ENGLISH OR LITERATURETO QUALIFY,AND PASS UNIT 3 AND 4 4 GENERAL SUBJECTS + 1 CERTIFICATE III or higher ATAR Eligibility Students seeking an ATAR in the 90s are advised to choose 6 General Subjects. General subjects will scale better than Applied and Diploma, Cert IV, Cert III courses. The best 5 subjects count. We would advise students seeking ATAR eligibility to have a minimum of 5 General Subjects.
- 12. Assessment for ATAR – General Subjects Maths and Science Subjects All other General Subjects 50 % Internal IA 1 IA 2 IA 3 50 % External EA Students need to be capable of longitudinal assessment and ongoing revision. 75 % Internal IA 1 IA 2 IA 3 25 % External EA
- 13. Rank pathway Achieved by completing a Cert III, Cert IV or Diploma Completion of a single Cert III course or higher, provides a Rank (which is fixed) and valued by the university or TAFE in the year of graduation Strong advantage to students B- / C+ or lower
- 14. Current Ranking Equivalencies Cert III ~ 68 Cert IV ~ 74 Diploma: 82 – 87 Universities assign these differently!! Provided the rank meets the cut off requirements and pre-requisites are met most universities accept a rank of Cert IV or higher (Diploma)
- 15. Which Pathway should you choose?
- 16. Rank pathway or ATAR pathway? In most instances, students who are achieving in the B- range or lower will get a better result from the Rank of a Diploma at 82, assuming the trajectory of their results remains unchanged. This can be dependent on scaling. Ranking Cert III and above have additional QCE points and are recognised qualifications Cert III valued at approximately a ‘C-’ in English. Students who are in the C range, are like to get a better Rank than an ATAR. Recognised by most universities, for direct student entry More practical, hands-on learning with opportunities for resubmission in Cert subjects Far fewer exams and no high stakes external exams Certificate courses – recognised industry qualifications ATAR High stakes assessment No guarantees – iterative scaling process used to determine the value of subjects and results relatively Recognised by all universities in Queensland and outside Proficiency required in recall, comprehension, analysis, evaluation, written synthesis.Value on higher order cognitions.
- 17. Pathway Options in Senior QCE ATAR Only ATAR + Rank Rank Only Rank + VET VET Cert II / 1 Only 6 General Subjects preferably 5 General Subjects + 1Applied / Cert preferably Does not allow post school pathway to university Bachelor course. A rank is achieved by completing a Cert III or above. A student can be aVET student and complete Certs lower than Cert III, and therefore not be eligible for a RANK.Typically, these students are looking at a trade, apprenticeship or traineeship pathway. Decision will be unique to student aspiration and demonstrated pattern of achievement.
- 18. SET Planning Process 2025 You will attend (with your parent/guardian) the Yr10 & Yr11 2023 Subject Selection Evening Tuesday 17th June 6:15pm – 7:30pm San Damiano Centre. You will complete and subject the Pre – SET plan form. Student to upload to a task submission point inYear 10 SET Planning in the Graduates of 2027. This will be sent to your SET Plan mentor for review. Term 3, Week 1: You will attend a meeting with your parents and the mentor. You will discuss the appropriateness of your chosen pathway and subject selections based on the pattern of evidence so far in your results.
- 19. Choosing the Right Senior Subjects for You Choose subjects you are good at. Choose subjects that you enjoy/are interested in. Choose subjects that are prerequisites for the tertiary courses you want to apply for.

- 22. Prerequisites Prerequisites are mandatory subjects that must be achieved through QCE subjects or equivalent avenues. These subjects are specified for some tertiary courses. However, not all courses have subject prerequisites. Assumed knowledge and recommended study can also be specified. If you do not have these subjects, you can still be admitted to the course, but you might have difficulty with your studies.
- 23. SET Plan Form: Course preferences using QTAC website Pre-requisites are not the same as Assumed knowledge or Recommended study
- 24. Activity: Using QTAC website Use the QTAC website to identify the ATAR / Selection Rank and prerequisites needed to be eligible to apply for these courses at university. Complete the Unpacking QTAC worksheet.

- 25. Activity: Using QTAC website What occupations interest you? Research courses that may be required for each occupation, across three different tertiary institutions. Use the QTAC website to identify the ATAR / Selection Rank and prerequisites needed to be eligible to apply for courses you are interested in.
