14 Tertiary Entrance

15 What is this school doing? Planning the next 2 years in fine detail ensuring time is utilised effectively. Using Year 10 as a genuine preparation year. Further embedding pathways for all students.

16 Strategic Direction Units 1 and 2 completed in Year 11 terms 1,2 and 3. Reduced assessment items and exam blocks. Year 12 work will begin in Term 4, and be completed by end Term 3 Year 12. Term 4 Year 12 is study and exam block. Allows significant student support time.

17 Year 12 Plan

18 Leveraging IB The IB program has a history of; External Exam and Preparation. Requiring long term study notes. Lengthy exam blocks. In this vein the school will be utilising the skills of our IB teachers to best prepare students for the new senior.

31 HOW ARE WE PREPARING YEAR 10 STUDENTS? Year 10 core and extension mathematics programs have been re-written to ensure students have covered all of the required pre-requisite content for new subjects. Creating new preparatory classes in semester 2 (as per letter in term 1) to tailor preparation and readiness for new senior subjects. Using new senior grade boundaries in year 10 (starting term 1) to assist students to engage with the new grade requirements. Implementing whole of semester testing in terms 2 and 4, in preparation for external exams that will assess an entire year s content.

32 CONT.. Introducing blind component (20%) of exams to assist prepare staff and students for external exams. Committing to, as a minimum, fortnightly reviewing of content to assist with long-term content retention. Exposing students to a complex question every week, to assist with preparation for the increased rigour of new senior subjects and foster confidence in problem-solving and the unfamiliar. Implementing longer length non-calculator exams in terms 2, 3 and 4 in year 10 extension and methods courses to prepare students for pathways into methods and specialist maths in year 11 and 12.

33 WHERE ARE WE NOW? Year 10 students have had recent interaction with the new senior grade boundaries (term 1 exams). Students are aware of the increased demands/rigour of the new senior mathematics subjects. Critical that students continue to revise term 1 content in preparation for end of term 2 exam that will cover all of terms 1 and 2 content. Critical that students use digital resources, such as MOODLE and mymathsonline to tailor their study. Critical that students give themselves the best chance of success on end of term 2 exams as results will inform class placement for semester 2. Letter to be posted home to parents this week.
