Secondary Graduation

Secondary Graduations needs to be your primary goal.

Overwhelming evidence demonstrates that young people who achieve Secondary Graduation create many opportunities for further education and training (University & TAFE), improve their longer term employment prospects and strengthen career development.

Eligibility For Secondary Graduation

To qualify for Secondary Graduation a student must;

• Complete (ie: achieve a letter grade of A, B, C, D or E) at least ten full year/or subject equivalent Curriculum Council subjects. *
• Obtain an average grade of C or better in at least eight of the full year (or subject equivalent) Curriculum Council subjects. ** At least four of these subjects must be at Year 12 level.
• Achieve Curriculum Council English language competence. ***

Note: Subject Equivalence is made up of nominal hours of Units of Competency (UOC). Students who successfully complete UOC will be credited with a full subject equivalent for every 110 hours of UOC. (Successful completion of 55-109 receives credit for a half subject equivalent), eg: a student who completes 295 hours of UOC would be credited with 2.5 subject equivalent.

Students must achieve Curriculum Council English Language competence to be eligible for Secondary Graduation. To achieve Curriculum Council English language competence students must obtain a grade of C of better in one of the following Year 12 Curriculum Council subjects:

• English
• English as a Second Language
• English Literature
• Senior English
• Vocational English

Alternatively, students may sit the Curriculum Council English Language Competence Test, which will be held in Semester 2. A pass satisfies the English language competence requirement for Secondary Graduation.
