Sequential development
• All ATAR and General courses demonstrate an increasing level
of complexity from Year 11 to Year 12.
• Course units must be completed sequentially - Year 11 units
then Year 12 units.
• ATAR courses – students who are aiming to enrol in university
direct from school.
• General courses – students who are aiming to enter further
training or the workforce directly from school.
• Vocational Education & Training(VET) – VET courses
developed in consultation with industry are nationally
recognised.
Pathways
Students can mix and match from the options provided
through Shenton to ensure they have the best platform to
achieve:
WACE
 and pathways beyond school
Students are selecting a two year course pathway.
To achieve a WACE students must
satisfy the following:
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
• Complete a Literacy and Numeracy Assessment to
demonstrate a minimum standard based on skills regarded
as essential for individuals to meet the demands of everyday
life and work in a knowledge-based economy.
• Complete a minimum of four Year 12 ATAR courses including
the external examination (i.e. be eligible for an ATAR) or
• complete a Certificate II or higher.
To achieve a WACE students must:
BREADTH & DEPTH
• Complete at least 20 units (or equivalents) including
a minimum of 10 Year 12 units.
• Complete two Year 11 English units and a pair of
Year 12 English units.
• One pair of units from a Year 12 List A
(arts/languages/social sciences) course and one pair
of units from a Year 12 List B course
(mathematics/sciences/technologies).
To achieve a WACE students must:
ACHIEVEMENT
• Achieve a minimum of 14 C grades (or equivalent) in Year 11 and Year
12, including at least 6 C grades in Year 12 units (or equivalents).
NOT AN AVERAGE!!
Unit equivalence can be obtained through VET and/or Endorsed
Programs to a maximum of 8 units.
Up to 8 unit equivalents through completed VET programs
Up to 4 unit equivalents through completed Endorsed programs
Up to 8 unit equivalents through a combination of VET and Endorsed

• For a completed Certificate I, units of competency must have a
minimum of 110 nominal hours.
• For a completed Certificate II, the achievement of units of
competency must be a minimum of 220 hours. More substantial
elective units may be required to ensure the minimum is met.
Literacy and Numeracy Assessment
• To achieve a WACE, students will be required to complete
the Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA) and
demonstrate achievement at or above a minimum standard.
• The OLNA has three components – reading, writing and
numeracy.
• Students who achieve Band 8 or higher in the associated
component of their Year 9 NAPLAN tests will be recognised
as having met the standard required for that component of
the OLNA.
When do students sit the OLNA?
• Students will be required to undertake the OLNA in
Semester 1, Year 10 unless they have prequalified for one
or more components through achievement of Band 8 or
higher in the Year 9 NAPLAN tests.
• If the student does not meet the standard in Semester 1,
then they must sit in Semester 2, Year 10, and, if required,
Semester 1, Year 11.
• From then on, and if required, students may choose when
next to sit the assessment.
• If students do not meet the literacy and numeracy
standard by the time they exit secondary school, they can
apply to the Authority to re-sit the assessment.
All students (whether they have achieved the WACE or
not) will receive a Western Australian Statement of
Student Achievement – a record of all courses and or
programs completed.
Private Candidates
Typically, students enrolled at a school cannot sit an
Authority examination as a private candidate.
From 2016, private candidature in ATAR examinations will
only be available to students:
seeking mature age university entrance OR
undertaking language courses through interstate offerings
(e.g. Chinese: Background – NSW) OR
Undertaking European background language courses
(e.g. German background language)

Vocational Education and Training
Opportunities
What is Vocational Education
