  4. What is the Senior Phase of Learning? • The Senior Phase of Learning refers to Years 11 and 12 • Year 10 is a preparation year • The requirements are very different to Years 8, 9 and 10

  5. Senior Education and Training Plan (SETP) • Sets out the plan for the senior schooling phase of learning in order to achieve students’ education, training and career goals. • All Year 10 students in QLD complete this plan. • Students choose subjects for years 11 & 12 • All year 10 students and parents /guardians will be interviewed as part of the SETP process. • SETP completed on-line

  7. SETP 2014 Expectations of Senior Students: • Behaviour • Attendance • Punctuality • Work Ethic • Uniform & Presentation • School pride

  8. Senior Enrolment Interviews • With a senior teaching staff member – 30 minutes • SETP on-line completed before attending the interview • Essential to secure a timetabled position in Year 11 at MacGregor High for 2015 • To make the expectations clear for all stakeholders – “No surprises”.

  9. Role of Parents / Caregivers • Actively engage in the process and discuss options • Understand your student • Be clear about past achievements – there is no miracle from November 2014 and January 2015 • However, Semester 2 Year 10 IS still an opportunity to update past achievements • Help discuss subject choices- pre-requisites are there for a reason • Interact with the on-line One School tool

  10. Role of students • Actively engage in process and participate in discussions with maturity. • Be honest about achievement, capacity, work commitment. • Accept that this is your process, not what others are doing for you. • Interact with the on-line One School tool.

  11. Role of SETP Teachers • Will contact you to make the appointment. • Will prepare prior to the interview to understand each student thoroughly. • Will develop the SETP in partnership with the family. • Will help refer you to others if the need arises for further information. • Will meet with each student (where possible) at the start and end of Semester 1 2015 to see if further support is needed.

  12. Role of School • Offer a structure with responsible and meaningful pathways. • Insist on meeting set expectations to enhance the learning environment of the school. • Insist on subject choices and course structures that are in the students’ best interests. • Support parents and children in achieving their goals for the Senior Phase of Learning.

First checkpoint is end of Term 1- CATCH UP • Must comply to values and beliefs of school (uniform, behaviour, attendance, punctuality, work ethic)

  15. Earning – Part-time Work • Discuss level of part-time work your child and family can sustain • Research has shown that anything more than 10 hours per week is a negative influence on academic success • Weigh up the short term gain for cash against the long term goals of your SETP
