INTRODUC TION

The Charles Campbell College curriculum is based on the Australian Curriculum for Reception to Year 10, and on the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) options in the senior years.Our broad range of curriculum options provides opportunities for our students to develop their varied pathways to facilitate further study, training or employment.

We acknowledge that throughout their working life, our graduates will need to undertake additional training and further education as the world of work undergoes significant change; with the advent of new technologies, including artificial intelligence, some forms of employment will change significantly whilst others will disappear and new forms will emerge. We aim to equip our students with the skills, knowledge and attributes to succeed in the immediate future, but have the capabilities necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Our Year 7 and 8 curriculum offerings are characterised by a core program of subjects which are studied for a whole year or for one semester. Our curriculum at Years 9 and 10 is comprised of a core curriculum but with increasing levels of choice for students, enabling them to individualise their learning with their desired pathway in mind.

This handbook provides detailed information about the courses offered by the College, flowcharts of potential pathways and comprehensive information about the scope of subjects available and their assessment components.

Please take the time to read this handbook carefully before selecting courses and subjects; our staff are available to provide you with any additional information.

I wish you well in your deliberations.

Kind regards,

Kevin O’NeilPRINCIPAL

SOUTH AUSTR ALIAN CERTIFIC ATE OF EDUC ATION (SACE)

The South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) is the qualification awarded to students who successfully complete their senior secondary education. The SACE Board of South Australia administers the SACE for all schools in the state.

WithineachSACEsubject,studentsareexpectedtogainanddemonstrateessentialsubjectspecificskillsandknowledge,aswellasdevelopingsevenpersonalcapabilities:• Literacy• Numeracy• InformationandCommunicationTechnology• CriticalandCreativeThinking• PersonalandSocial• EthicalUnderstanding• InterculturalUnderstanding

To complete the SACE, students need to attain 200 SACE credits from a selection of Stage 1 and Stage 2 subjects. A 10-credit subject is usually one semester of study, and a 20-credit subject is usually over two semesters.

Typically, at Charles Campbell College, students start their SACE journey with the Stage 1 Personal Learning Plan in Year 10, their selection of Stage 1 subjects in Year 11 (including the compulsory Maths and English subjects), and their selection of Stage 2 subjects in Year 12 (including Stage 2 Research Project).

Compulsory Subjects – 50 credits• 10credits Stage1PersonalLearningPlan(PLP)• 20credits Literacyrequirement,fromarangeofStage1andStage2Englishsubjects• 10credits Numeracyrequirement,fromarangeofStage1andStage2Mathematicssubjects

Student Selected Subjects – 150 credits• 90credits SelectionofStage1andStage2subjects,recognisedVETcourses,orcommunitylearning• 60credits SelectionofStage2orVETsubjects,worthatleast60creditsintotal

Students are eligible for an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) if they achieve 90 credits at Stage 2. The South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC) has responsibility for all South Australian students’ ATAR calculations.


VOC ATIONAL EDUC ATION AND TR AINING ( VE T )

Vocational Education and Training (VET) enables students to acquire skills and knowedge for work through a nationally recognised industry-developed training package or accredited course. Students have the opportunity to undertake VET as part of SACE, which enables them to gain tertiary qualifications while still at school. Qualifications gained can act as a bridge between school and future pathways.

VET certificate qualifications are achieved by completing the required number of competencies. Each competency has an allocated number of hours required for successful completion. These nominal hours are accumulated and converted into SACE credits, with 70 nominal VET hours being equivalent to 10 SACE credits (one semester).

The SACE enables students to include a significant amount of VET in their SACE studies. Students can gain recognition for up to 150 SACE credits at Stage 1 and/or Stage 2 for successfully completed VET.

Senior students can participate in a range of VET courses offered as part of the Charles Campbell College curriculum, or through the East Adelaide Schools Vocational Alliance (EASVA).
