I would like to express the gratitude of the Board to all these people whose combined efforts have benefited secondary education in this country. The Committee continued to work with the Inquiry into Immediate Post-Compulsory Education and acknowledges the work of the Ministerial Adviser, Mr. by Kevin Gilding. I sincerely thank the Board of Directors to all these retired members for their special contribution to the concept of general higher secondary education.
The following sections of this report provide details on the implementation of policies designed to meet this first objective. SSABSA has also undertaken research into the effects of scaling publicly investigated subjects as a result of the Gilding Report. SSABSA is aware of the tension between providing for everyone's needs and leading.
Another important development in 1988 was the implementation of the decision to abandon private candidacy. For more details of the assessment process, see pages 70 to 72 of the SSABSA Year 12 Handbook.
PARTICIPATION AND EQUITY
New arrangements arising from the Report of the Inquiry into Immediate Post-Compulsory Education may lead to an expansion of SSABSA's role in employment. In early 1988, SSABSA published Participation and Equity Guidelines for Evaluation and Redevelopment of Year 12 Syllabus. Expanding the range of syllabuses to meet the needs of a more diverse clientele has increased participation in Year 12 schooling.
The range of accredited subjects, flexible assessment methods and policies designed to increase access and participation are key resources through which SSABSA caters to all Year 12 students. They are available to students taking accredited courses and also to students taking registered courses only. A review of registered subjects in 1988 led to a substantial rationalization and consolidation of the range of subjects offered in schools.
Registered subjects are now available as system-registered subjects (available to any school) or as school-registered subjects. limited to the developing school). There will be fewer than 250 registered subjects available in 1989 - a significant reduction in number but an improvement in quality.
INFORMING THE COMMUNITY
SSABSA believes that the expanded range of subjects is one such factor, the other being more flexible assessment practices. However, there is an additional factor that provides opportunities for students who would otherwise not. The nature of the committee system also ensures that SSABSA's policies and activities are open to the public.
For example, the new Dance Performance and Theory syllabus was introduced at Carclew and Year 12 week was extended to Senior Student Week, a joint operation with the Commonwealth Department of Employment, Education and Training, DTAFE, and the secondary school systems. At this ceremony, more than 500 South Australian students who achieved scores of 20 out of 20 in at least one subject in 1988 will receive their merit certificates. The information on the Year 12 achievement certificate itself (see section 2.4) is another way of keeping the public informed.
The SSABSA Year 12 Certificate of Achievement is now known and respected throughout Australia; it is not only the south that uses it. Australian students, but also over 2000 students a year from the Northern Territory and Malaysia.
SUMMARY
Senior Students' Week has become a focus in many schools (128 in 1988) for year 12 advice, further studies and career planning.
