Introduction
The 2010 report on Year 12 outcomes was published in Queensland metropolitan and regional newspapers on Tuesday 31 May 2011. The dataset provides a snapshot of school outcomes for students who finished Year 12 in 2010.
The public release of this data is part of the Queensland Government’s Changes to School Reporting initiative, announced in October 2004. It has been compiled from data provided to the QSA from Queensland schools, The Department of Education and Training and the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre.
The data show that Queensland’s Year 12 students are graduating from high school with the skills and qualifications to follow a range of rewarding work, further education and training pathways.
There are explanatory notes about how to read the table included in the report, and some questions and answers about the data are available.
Care should be taken in trying to construct time-series comparisons between the 2010 Year 12 outcomes information and information obtained from earlier reports.
The Queensland Government changed the format of the Year 12 outcomes report with the introduction of the Queensland Certificate of Education in 2008. Data was time-series consistent between the 2005 and 2007 reports. The items in the 2008 and 2009 Year 12 outcomes report are time-series consistent with the same items in this year’s report.
Data sources
Data on the number of students who are continuing or completed a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship was provided by the Department of Education and Training.
Data on the number of students participating in and completing an International Baccalaureate Diploma was provided by the International Baccalaureate Organisation.
Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre data is as at 10 February 2011, when February offers were released. Applicants were included if they had at least one preference for a Semester 1 course. Late applications and late offers were not included.
All other data included in the Year 12 outcomes report is provided by the Queensland Studies
Authority.
Reading the table
School The school name.
Locality The city, town or suburb where the school is located.
Senior Education Profiles The number of students who received a Senior Education Profile (SEP). The SEP can include a Queensland Certificate of Education, Tertiary Entrance Statement, a Senior Statement or a Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement.
VET Qualifications The number of students awarded one or more Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications. This includes qualifications of Certificate I, II, III or IV. Students who are completing or completed a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship (SAT) are also included in this column.
SAT The number of students who are completing or completed a SAT.
QCIA The number of young people awarded a Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA). Students awarded a QCIA have engaged in a highly individualised learning program for their senior phase of schooling. Students may receive a Senior Statement and a QCIA.
QCE The number of students who were awarded a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) at the end of Year 12. The QCE was awarded to students who attained 20 credits by achieving a Sound Achievement or pass in the required pattern. Their program of studies must have included a minimum of 12 credits from core courses and 8 credits from any combination of other courses of study. To be awarded a QCE, students must also have met literacy and numeracy requirements.
OP The number of students who received an Overall Position (OP). To receive an OP a student must study 20 semester units of credit in Queensland Studies Authority subjects with at least three subjects taken for four semesters. Students must also complete Year 12 and sit the Queensland Core Skills Test.
Not receiving OP, QCE, QCIA, IBD, VET or undertaking SAT
The number of students who did not receive one or more of the following: OP, QCE, QCIA, International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBD), VET qualification.
% with an OP 1–15 or IBD
The percentage of OP-eligible or IBD students who received an OP 1 to 15 or were awarded an IBD.
% with a SAT, QCE, IBD or VET qualification
The percentage of Year 12 students who are completing or completed a SAT or who were awarded one or more of the following: QCE, IBD, VET qualification.
% QTAC applicants with a tertiary offer
The percentage of students who applied for and received an offer of a tertiary place through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC). The percentage of students entering VET courses through QTAC is understated because QTAC data on VET includes only full-time students entering a VET diploma. The data does not include part-time diplomas, certificates, apprenticeships or traineeships.
VET Cert. I VET Cert. II VET Cert. III & IV
The number of students awarded one or more VET qualifications at different levels.
Certificate I courses develop basic skills required by industry or for participation in life and further learning. Certificate II courses develop skills in specific career related fields as preparation for employment. Certificate III courses develop the ability to apply a range of well-developed work skills in specific career fields. Apprenticeships usually involve a Certificate III level course. Certificate IV courses usually develop supervisory and/or advanced technical skills. These often build upon skills acquired in the workplace and/or Certificate III courses.
Additional information about the Australian Qualifications Framework can be obtained from<www.aqf.edu.au>search for “AQF handbook”.
OP 1–5 OP 6–10 OP 11–15 OP 16–20 OP 21–25
The number of students with an OP between the identified bands.
An OP is a student’s statewide rank based on overall achievement in QSA-approved subjects. It indicates how well the student has done in comparison to all other OP-eligible students in Queensland.
Students are placed in one of 25 OP bands from 1 (highest) to 25 (lowest).
Additional information about OP statistics can be obtained from the QSA website<www.qsa.qld.edu.au>search for “statistics”.
