BEHAVIOURAL EXPECTATIONS
Redlynch State College is committed to ensuring that all young Queenslanders have a
right to, and receive a quality education.
Redlynch State College creates a supportive school environment where all people feel
respected, safe and committed to learning. A positive learning environment is created
by building on quality relationships with students and parents. Our approach to
developing responsible behaviour is focused on these relationships and takes place in a
caring, supportive environment. We believe that self-control is necessary for children’s
welfare and happiness and their ability to function effectively in society. Students are
encouraged to manage their thinking and their behaviours and it is expected that they
develop self-discipline and take responsibility for their actions.
Our behavioural expectations are:
These behavioural expectations are embedded in the curriculum and expressed through
our learning outcomes. It is expected that all members of our school community will
consistently display our behavioural expectations in all actions. These behavioural
expectations are the foundation of our Responsible Behaviour Plan for Students.

SELECTING SUBJECTS
GUIDELINES
• Students are encouraged to discuss subject choices with teachers. College
staff have an understanding of your student and will be able to give them
guidance on the appropriateness of their subject choices.
• Students will be required to study two (3) elective subjects.
• Students will have many influences at this time of subject selection:- personal
likes/dislikes, career aspirations, expectations of family and others’, influence
of friends and media.
o The subjects you choose should include subjects which:
▪ You are interested in
▪ You have experienced past success with
▪ May lead to your preferred career path
▪ Optimist opportunities to reach your potential
• Make use of this booklet, which provides information about each elective
subject.
SELECTING SUBJECTS – SUBMITTING YOUR FINAL CHOICES
Final subject preferences are to be submitted online through OneSchool. The
OneSchool website is https://oslp.eq.edu.au and students are required to have their
school ID and password to access the site. A detailed information process with stepped
instructions for the submission of these online selections is outlined in the back of this
booklet.
SELECTING SUBJECTS – WHAT IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND?
While the online subject selection process is open, students may change their
preferences as many times as they like however, students need to be aware that the
time of the last online save is the primary data used for allocation to subjects. Once the
online process ‘closes’ the opportunity for change will be minimal. Please see the
detailed instructions at the back of this booklet for more information.
SELECTING SUBJECTS – CLAUSES
• Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate a student’s preferences,
scheduling and the availability of resources will mean that not every student
will be assigned for their first preferences. When a class/subject reaches
maximum capacity, no additional students can be enrolled into that
class/subject. Therefore, you will be required to select two additional
electives that you are prepared to study.
• Students also need to be aware that the availability of a particular subject for
an individual student is dependent upon a number of important factors:
o Time of submission of elective preferences or changes to preferences
o Selection process in specialist classes such as languages
o Acceptance into excellence and specialist programs
o Availability of staff and physical resources such as specialist classrooms
o Class size numbers

2. Student Exchange: routines and permission giving
3. I’m Lost: giving / receiving directions and place names
4. Sport’s Hero: personal skills, abilities and areas if interest
5. My Future: plans, dreams and careers
CORE SKILLS This is a period of language exploration, vocabulary expansion, and
experimentation with different modes of communication, for example, digital
media, collaborative performance and group discussions. Learners become
more confident in communicating in a wider range of contexts through greater
control of language structures and vocabulary and increased understanding of
the variability of language use. They use Japanese to communicate and
interact; to access and exchange information; to express feelings and opinions;
to participate in imaginative and creative experiences; and to create, interpret
and analyse a wider range of texts and experiences. They sequence and
describe events using a range of cohesive devices, and complete
communicative tasks that involve planning, performance, collaborative and
independent work. They use language more fluently, with a greater degree of
self-correction and repair, and use verbal cues to aid and facilitate
communication. They reference the accuracy of their language use against a
stronger frame of grammatical knowledge.
Learners at this level are able to read and write using hiragana, katakana and
an increasing number of kanji in all texts. Their writing is more sophisticated,
using connectives and conjunctions, and they engage with more complex
language structures.

INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSIST WITH SUBJECT SELECTION
A) Preparation for the online process
1. Students need to test that they are able to log into OneSchool before the subject
selection process opens. * Students with OneSchool accounts needing attention should visit the Student Laptop Window at the front
of the Library ASAP so that the issue can be resolved.
2. Students need to plan to have access to an appropriate device and internet
connection to enter their subject selections.
B) Preparation for choosing your subject preferences
1. Review the Curriculum Guide Year 10 2022 which has been emailed.
2. Review the subjects offered as listed in the screenshot below. Please note that
some subjects are offered on multiple lines – but you may only study the subject
once.
3. Students should select 6 preferences:
• Three (3) first preference electives
• Three (3) second preference electives * There is a chance that students might end up studying a second preference subject, so all six elective
preferences must be carefully considered. Second preference subjects will be considered if it is not
possible to place students in their first preference.
Students wanting to study Certificate II in Engineering, Outdoor Recreation or the Athlete
Development Program are required to complete an application form and may have to
attend an interview. It is essential these students select a second preference in case they
are not successful in gaining a place.
38
C) Steps to Gain Access to OneSchool Subject Selections
1. Year 10 Subjects selections for 2022 will be open from:
Wednesday 3rd November at 6.00pm and closes Monday 8th November 3.00pm
When selections open, go to https://oslp.eq.edu.au.
2. Enter your username (example jsmit21) and password as if logging onto a computer

D) Selecting 2022 Year 10 First & Second Preference Subjects
1. Select 3 first preference electives by left mouse clicking on your selection. ‘Subject
selection rank order’ does not need to be toggled, as it will not be referred to when
allocating students to subjects.
2. You must choose 3 second preference electives. You need to do this 3 times to
select 3 second preferences:
a) Click ‘Select a Preference to add…’
b) Click your choice
c) Click ‘add new’
3. Click ‘Save’ and check for the successful update message (onscreen message
indicating that your subjects have been entered). Students need to be very aware
that re-entering subject preferences at any time up until close is possible, but by
editing preferences, the most recent time and date saved will be used as the time of
entry for subject allocation purposes.
ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Allocation to Subjects / Classes
• The time and date that selections were last saved will be used to place
students in subjects.
• If a subject is full, or classes collapse due to insufficient enrolments, students who
are not able to be placed in the subject will be placed in one of their second
preference subjects.
• Although second preference subjects are entered online one after the other,
these subjects will not be considered ordered for allocation purposes.
• Our priority is to place students in their first choice subjects. Preferences for
classes (groups of students) are not able to be considered. If students ever have
welfare or pathway concerns, they should book in with our guidance officer
through Student Services.
Changes to Subjects / Classes
• After online subject selections close, requests for subject change can be sent
by email to the College Deputy Principal, Sharyn Crookes ([email protected])
until the end of Week 8 in Semester 2, 2021.
39
• Once Semester 1 commences, it may be necessary to move students between
classes to accommodate subject preference changes and new enrolments.
These changes will be kept to a minimum, and usually be concluded by the end
of Week 2. Communication of these moves will be the issuing of an updated
timetable to the student and the updating of the IDAttend online timetable.
• Extra classes may need to be created if there is demand and resources. Classes
may also need to collapse during the year.
• Students who apply for ADP or ORE but are not accepted – the alternative
subject chosen by the student listed in the online application will be the subject
they study.
IF YOU HAVE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH ONESCHOOL during the subject selection
online process (not difficulties with devices or connectivity):
Screenshot the problem / error message with the time and date visible, and email
this screenshot with an explanation to [email protected].
Continue to enter your selections as soon as possible once the issue is resolved.
