SACE

Stage 1 and Stage 2 Subject Selection  

Subject selection is one of the key processes undertaken in term 3 to ensure that students make informed subject choices for Stage 1 and Stage 2 based upon their interests and plans regarding future study. We support students in making these decisions through the SACE/VET and Career Information Session. This session took place during term 3 and  introduced the SACE & VET subjects, provided information regarding how the students can achieve their SACE and how to access information about career pathways. Based on information provided by students, we have completed our subject selection process for the current Year 10 and Year 11 students for the next academic year.  

Further information regarding the subjects we offer at Year 10, 11 and 12 can be found on our website in the Senior Curriculum Handbook. In addition, the SACE website: https://www.sace.sa.edu.au/ is a valuable resource for students and parents alike to broaden their knowledge. Other good sources of information are the 2022 SATAC Guide and the University and TAFE websites. Students are also encouraged to investigate extension studies offered by the universities and VET courses offered by Registered Training Organisations.  

In this regard, conversations with subject teachers are also crucial. If you wish to know more about requirements for different subject areas, assessment types and course contents, senior schoolteachers are available for further support and guidance. 

Time Management and Study Tips for the Exams 

You can prepare yourself to succeed in your studies by trying to develop and practice the following habits: 

• Take responsibility for your studies yourself.  
• Recognise that to succeed you need to make decisions about your priorities, time and resources. 
• Center your work ethic around your values and principles 
• Don’t let friends and acquaintances dictate what you consider important. 
• Prioritise – This is an important organisational skill that will help you stay on top of your work. 
• Follow up on your priorities and don’t let others, or other interests, distract you from your goals. 
• Discover your key productivity periods and places – morning, afternoon, or evening and work accordingly. 
• Find spaces where you can be the most focused and productive. 
• Prioritise your most difficult study challenges. 
• Look for better solutions to problems, if you don’t understand course material, don’t just re-read it – try something else like consulting with your teacher or classmates. 
• Finally, avoid procrastination.  

We are wishing our year 12 and year11 students all the best in their exams InshAllah.
