Students may obtain unit equivalence as follows: up to eight unit equivalents through completion of VET qualifications, or up to four unit equivalents through completion of endorsed programs, or up to eight unit equivalents through a combination of VET qualifications and endorsed programs,but with endorsed programs contributing no more than four unit equivalents.4

Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) courses: ATAR course units are for students whoare aiming to enrol in a university course directly from school. These courses will beexamined by the Authority and contribute to the achievement of an Australian TertiaryAdmission Rank (ATAR).2. General courses: General course units are for students who are aiming to enter furthertraining or the workforce directly from school. These courses will not be examined by theAuthority.3.

VET programs2. Endorsed programsIn Year 10, you have the opportunity to choose what you will study in Years 11 and 12. Appendix 2provides a summary of each course.Achievement of a WACECourses units/programs from these groups contribute to theachievement of a WACE: ATAR, General, Foundation,VET industry specific courses, VET qualificationsand endorsed programs.WACE courses are grouped intoList A (arts/languages/social sciences) andList B (mathematics/science/technology).Students studying for a WACE are required to select at leastone Year 12 course from each of List A and List B.Appendix 3 lists the subjects as List A and List B.Schools choose to offer courses that meet the needs andinterests of their students in line with the resources they haveavailable.

Busselton Senior High SchoolYear 11 Curriculum Handbook 2022The rank is used by universities as a selection mechanism. More information about the ATAR isavailable at the TISC website at http://www.tisc.edu.au/.If you do not complete the course requirements to achieve an ATAR you will need to achieve aminimum of a Certificate II qualification.Each course has four units, Units 1 and 2 (Year 11 units) and Units 3 and 4 (Year 12 units). Thedifferent certificates (I, II and III) available through VET industry specific courses are packaged as twoor four units. Unit 1 and Unit 2 can be studied as a pair, Unit 3 and Unit 4 must be studied as a pair.Unlike other WACE courses, VETis course units are paired in both the Year 11 (Unit 1 and Unit2) and the Year 12 (Unit 3 and Unit 4) syllabuses. A student who withdraws from a VETis course afteronly one semester will not receive VETis course unit credit for that academic year.Permission for a student to change courses is a school decision; however, for a student to achievecourse unit credits, a change can only be made early in Year 12, before the cut-off date set by theAuthority; or in Year 11 early in the year after the completion of Unit 1, or at the end of Year 11 afterthe completion of Unit 2. A student who withdraws from a VET industry specific course does notachieve course unit credits.The Western Australian Statement of Student AchievementA Western Australian Statement of Student Achievement (WASSA) is issued to all Year 12 studentswho complete any study that contributes towards a WACE. It lists all courses and programs studentshave completed in Year 11 and 12.Literacy and numeracyThere are two parts to demonstrating competence in literacy and numeracy.

Busselton Senior High SchoolYear 11 Curriculum Handbook 2022School Assessment(This section is relevant to all students.)Grades and school marksTo be assigned a grade in a WACE unit pair, you must have had the opportunity to complete yourschool’s education and assessment programs for the unit, unless there are exceptional circumstancesthat are acceptable to the school.Teachers of Year 11 and Year 12 students submit results to the Authority at the end of the schoolyear based on assessments such as classroom tests, in-class work, assignments, practical work andexaminations.You will receive a grade A, B, C, D or E for each unit pair you have completed. The notation of ‘U’ canbe used for non-final year students who, for reasons acceptable to the school, do not complete theassessment program. Only students who will be returning the following year to complete theassessment program can be awarded a ‘U’ notation.You will also receive a school mark in the range 0 to 100 for each unit pair of an ATAR orGeneral course you complete.In Year 11 there may be occasions when you need to change your course enrolment at thecompletion of Semester 1 (e.g. you may nominate to transfer from an ATAR course to a Generalcourse). Only in these cases will you receive a grade and mark for each individual unit you havecompleted.You will receive a ‘completed’ status instead of a grade for VETis course unit pairs. The notation‘completed’ counts the same as a C grade. If you do not complete the requirements of a VETis courseyou will be awarded a ‘U’ notation (see above) and WACE credit may contribute as VET unitequivalence, depending on how much of the course you have finished.Endorsed programs are not comprised of units, but a completed endorsed program is allocated one,two, three or four unit equivalents.Adjustment of grades and school marksDuring the school year, the Authority uses several procedures to ensure that the grades awarded bydifferent schools are comparable. Grades assigned by your school are based on the Authority’s gradedescriptions for each course. The grades you receive from your school are provisional until confirmedby the Authority. Your school is required to advise you in writing if any changes are made to yourprovisional grades during the approval process. However, the Authority adjusts the grades assignedby a school only in exceptional circumstances.Externally set tasks (EST)An EST is a common task that all students enrolled in a General course will do in Semester 1 of Year12. The task is set by the Authority, completed by students under test conditions, and is worth 15 percent of the final mark for that pair of units. ESTs are marked by your teacher using a marking keyprovided by the Authority.11
