GENERAL PATHWAY COURSES - OVERVIEW

GENERAL courses do not contribute to direct university entrance eligibility. They are aimed at students who are looking to go to TAFE or gain an apprenticeship, traineeship or enter the workforce. Although these courses standalone each year, it is recommended that students select a course to study over the two years, as it can be very difficult to pick up a new course in Year 12 if the background has not been covered in Year 11. Students who have demonstrated a majority of their Year 10 achievements up to a C grade will enroll in GENERAL courses and it is essential they select one CERTIFICATE course. All GENERAL courses in Year 12 will comprise of an external assessment task weighted at 15% which will be set by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority. This will be a compulsory part of the assessment program in Semester 1 Year 12. FOUNDATION COURSES Students requiring practical and supported learning to develop the skills required to successfully complete OLNA may need to select Foundation English and Foundation Mathematics courses.
