Students are expected to have individual attention while undertaking their Altona tutoring. Whether the students require some assistance on a particular subject or they want to do well in all subjects, tutors do what matters. The tutoring programme aims to equip a child with the necessary confidence and methods that propel him/her forward. Of course, with such a learning environment and a good chemistry tutor, students do not feel helpless.

Besides, students can benefit a lot by having many privileges such as getting additional materials, help in preparing for exams, etc.

Welcome!

Hi, I'm galaxy!

After this year, I'll be starting my VCE journey in my last two years of secondary school. I'm currently based in Melbourne, Australia, to which I have moved to quite recently amidst the New York summer of 2022.

While I want to keep myself accountable in my studies by blogging on Tumblr, I am more than a student. I want to learn more about languages, I like taking photographs on a film camera (although I haven't exactly been getting around to doing that recently!), I like to make graphics, and I write!

My first language is English and Chinese, but I’m currently learning Japanese at the advanced level. I’ve been thinking about learning more languages for a while now, so it would be awesome if we can do this together ♥️

Alright, I think that's a lot about myself for one day. More will be in the works!

Hi, Kirri! I'm from South America and I'm trying to do a research about australian high school. I would like you to clarify some questions I have about school subjects, like: which ones are optional and which are mandatory? also, if you could send me some reliable websites than i can look up. every website i see says something different, can be very confusing so I decided to ask a australian person. Thank you!!!!

Hi, hey, i've been summoned! Okay, i'll admit to you upfront, it's been a hot minute since I was in high school so my knowledge is partly from personal experience but also what is published online. The school structures and curriculum differs from state to state, so it's no wonder you had trouble finding clear answers. I'll try to explain simply:

Australian high schools run from years 7 to 12. (We actually have 13 school years in total including Kindergarten, or preparatory, which is not numbered.) Students can finish in year 10 if they choose not to complete their senior years and test for university entry. If a student finishes in year 10, they get a Record of School Achievement; if they finish senior studies, they get a certificate of education depending on which state they're in:

NSW - Higher School Certificate (HSC)

VIC - Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE)/Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL)

QLD - Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA)

SA - South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE)

WA - West Australian Certificate of Education (WACE)

TAS - Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE)

ACT - Australian Capital Territory Senior Secondary Certificate (ACT SSC)

NT - Northern Territory Certificate of Education (NTCE)

The national curriculum has eight compulsory learning areas, which can be categorized into subjects:

Then there are a wide range of electives, which vary greatly depending on region, type of school (state-funded vs private/faith-based) etc. Students in years 9 and 10 typically choose three electives. Here is an example of electives available to a school in NSW.

In addition, many schools offer the opportunity to study a vocational (often trade-based) course in preparation for studies after high school, called TVET (TAFE-delivered Vocational Education and Training). Many of these course results in credits toward school outcomes. I guess you could say that TAFE to Australia is like community college to the US.

The school year is broken up into four 'terms', with dates varying between states (see links at end for a list). A typical school day goes from 8:45am to 3:00pm Monday to Friday, with breaks for recess and lunch between period. A 'period' = one class, which typically runs for 40 minutes.

Upon completing senior studies and final exams, students are given an ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank), which they can use to select and be admitted to university. In fact, senior exams have just begun so it's a good time to keep an eye on social media and see how current students are talking about the experience! 'ATAR Day' (when rankings are released) is on December 14, another time to take a look.

Australia also has specialist high schools, such as creative and performing arts schools, intensive English centres (for students with English as a second language), sports schools, and technology schools. All of these must teach the compulsory subjects, but offer the chance to specialize in these areas.

Hopefully that will help you! I hope you don't mind that I posted this answer but I thought it might be useful to others as well. If you have any other questions, go ahead and ask and i'll do my best!

What is Six Syllable Types?

6 Syllable Types 

    Syllables are the building blocks of spoken language and can be categorized into different types based on their structure.   Here are six different types of syllables:   Closed Syllables:  A closed syllable ends with one or more consonant sound and typically has a short vowel sound. When a closed syllable is followed by another syllable that begins with a consonant, the two consonant letters will come between the two syllables ( sum-mer,  let-ter). In closed syllables short vowel can be followed two or more consonant letters (dill, jazz, mutt, bill, spell, floss, rattle, paddle, kiss). In closed syllables with short vowels, when a short vowel is followed by two or more consonant letters, those consonant letters often work together to create a single sound. This is known as a consonant cluster or consonant blend.   For example:   doll - The double l creates a single l sound after the short vowel o. rattle - The tt creates a single t sound after the short vowel a. paddle - The dd creates a single d sound after the short vowel a. kiss - The ss creates a single s sound after the short vowel i. This pattern helps maintain the closed syllable structure and assists in maintaining the short vowel sound within the syllable. The presence of a consonant cluster in a closed syllable can provide some protection for the vowel sound from the influence of suffixes. When a word has a closed syllable with a consonant cluster, the vowel sound is more likely to remain short and retain its original pronunciation even when suffixes are added.   For example:   hop (closed syllable with a short o sound) + -ing = hopping stop (closed syllable with a short o sound) + -ed = stopped chat (closed syllable with a short a sound) + -er = chatter swim (closed syllable with a short i sound) + -ing = swimming              Open Syllables: An open syllable ends with a vowel sound and is spelled with a vowel letter. In open syllables, there is no consonant to close or protect the vowel sound, so the vowel typically remains long or pronounced as its natural sound.   Examples of open syllables in words:   so-lar - The first syllable so is open and ends with a vowel sound. mu-sic - The first syllable mu is open and ends with a vowel sound. mo-ney - The first syllable mo is open and ends with a vowel sound. vo-wel - The first syllable vo is open and ends with a vowel sound. And yes, one-syllable words like me, do, and be are also open syllables because they end with a vowel sound and are spelled with a vowel letter. In open syllables, the vowel sound is not protected by a following consonant, so it tends to be pronounced as a long vowel sound or its natural sound.               Vowel-Consonant-E Syllables (VCe): Vowel-Consonant-e (VCe) syllables are often referred to as magic e syllable patterns or silent e syllable patterns. These syllables are characterized by a specific spelling pattern where a single vowel letter is followed by a consonant and then the letter e (hire, ware, mute, yoke) The magic e at the end of the syllable doesn't make its usual sound but instead influences the preceding vowel to be pronounced with a long sound. This changes the pronunciation and meaning of the word.             Vowel Team syllables: Vowel teams, also known as vowel digraphs, are combinations of two vowels that work together to represent a single vowel sound. The most common vowel teams include:   ee (as in meet) ea (as in heat) ai (as in rain) oa (as in boat) ou (as in out) Vowel teams are used to represent long vowel sounds, but they consist of two vowels, not a combination of long and short vowels. Digraphs are pairs of letters representing a single sound (consonant or vowel), and they can certainly be used in vowel teams. For example, ea is a vowel team, but it's also a digraph because the e and a together represent the sound /iː/.   Anglo-Saxon Words and Vowel Teams: Anglo-Saxon words are Old English words that were used in the early history of the English language. While vowel teams are present in English words, their usage is not strictly limited to Anglo-Saxon words. Vowel teams can be found in words from various origins.   Consonant Letters in Vowel Teams: oy, ey, ay, and ew, are indeed vowel teams, but they often involve a vowel combined with another vowel or consonant. For example: oy (as in boy) ey (as in key) ay (as in day) ew (as in new)   Ough, augh, and igh are also examples of vowel teams, although they can have varying pronunciations based on the word.   In summary, vowel teams consist of two vowels working together to represent a single sound, typically a long vowel sound. While some vowel teams can include consonant letters like y or w, the primary idea is that they involve two vowels. These patterns are not exclusive to Anglo-Saxon words; they can be found in words from different linguistic origins.             Vowel -r syllables: Vowel-R syllables, also known as r-controlled syllables, are an important phonics concept for students to master. In these syllables, a vowel is followed by the letter r, and the r influences the way the vowel is pronounced. The r sound changes the way the vowel is produced, creating a unique sound that is distinct from both short and long vowel sounds.   Examples of r-controlled syllables: In the words: herd, cart, germ, turtle, and shirt - The er, ar, ur, ir combinations create unique sounds different from regular short e, a u, i or long e, a, u, i sounds.   Mastery of r-controlled syllables is important because understanding these patterns helps students accurately decode and spell words. The r sound influence on the vowel can make these words challenging for early readers and spellers. By recognizing and practicing these patterns, students can improve their reading, writing, and overall phonics skills.             Consonant C-le syllables: Consonant-C-le syllables, also known as stable final syllables, are a specific syllable pattern that occurs at the end of words. In these syllables, the combination -cle is common, and it creates a specific sound pattern.   When the Consonant-C-le syllable is combined with an open syllable, the final consonant is not doubled. Examples:   cable - The cle combination creates a unique sound, and there's no doubling of the consonant. bugle - The cle combination also creates a unique sound, without doubling.   However, when the Consonant-C-le syllable is combined with a closed syllable, the final consonant is usually doubled before the -le ending. Examples:   dabble - The ble follows a closed syllable dab, and the b is doubled before the -le. little - The tle follows a closed syllable lit, and the t is doubled before the -le. topple - The ple follows a closed syllable top, and the p is doubled before the -le. Mastery of these patterns can help learners better understand the pronunciation and spelling of words with Consonant-C-le syllables. It's a helpful tool for decoding and encoding words accurately.   The given consonants are found in Cle syllables:   fle: raffle, shuffle, waffle stle: castle, bristle, wrestle gle: giggle, struggle, juggle kle: ankle, sparkle, crinkle zle: dazzle, puzzle, drizzle ble: table, marble, nimble tle: little, bottle, battle cle: circle, bicycle, icicle   These examples demonstrate how various consonants are combined with -cle to create Consonant-C-le syllables in different words.                 What is Six Syllable Types?

Victorian Certificate of Education

What is the VCE?

The VCE is a certificate given to Australian high school students that live in the state of Victoria. A minimum of 4 subjects must be chosen with English being mandatory and a maximum of 6 subjects can be chosen for the calculation of a student’s overall performance. This calculation is called the Australian Tertiary Admissions Ranking (ATAR). Essentially, the government compares you to all of the students in the state in order to compare your performance against students graduating high school across the entire country.

Currently, another pathway called the VCE- Vocational Major has replaced VCAL (vocational certificate) at the start of this year to try to remove stigma about VCAL not being an academic pathway.

Arguments for or against the ATAR

Supporters tend to argue that:

there is no better system (with evidence of high ATAR students achieving good grades in first year of uni)

this is a meritocratic approach to education (i.e., people who does the best gets awarded)

other systems will put students at more of a disadvantage than VCE

Opponents tend to argue that:

the ATAR reduces someone’s worth to a four-digit number (it’s out of 0 to 99.95)

this system is useless if increasing numbers of students choose not to have their final grades calculated (unscored)

for VCE, only English is a mandatory subject. This doesn’t ensure well-roundedness.

students are only going by the requirements of the syllabus and this can make them lose interest in learning and puts the focus on who can get more points

My opinions and what I am doing now

While there are certainly a lot of benefits and disadvantages to this system, I do not support continued implementation of the ATAR. I dislike the fact that it’s a number to begin with, and many end up confusing the difference between ‘score’ and ‘percentile rank’ (not being the statistics police, I am not smart) and this could depreciate people of their self worth, because if someone gets a really high ATAR, there has to be someone who gets a really low ATAR.

Personally, I would not put myself through this if I didn’t decide on applying to medical school. Sorry to those who are in exam/HSC season, though. I don’t mean to discourage people in any way. I just think that this system needs to change as it doesn’t fit the laidback ‘down under’ stereotype. (For legal reasons this is a joke 💀)

Currently, my Year 11 subjects (second-last year of school) are:

Mathematical Methods (equivalent to AP Calculus AB, A2 Maths but easier💀, final year of maths)

English

English Language (Linguistics)

Biology

Chemistry

Food Studies (food science and technology)

[grimnir713]

Fun fact: in high school, I did English Language instead of regular English for my VCE (EL looks at English from a linguistic point of view, and it meant I wasn’t forced to read books I didn’t want to read), and my Year 11 English Language teacher once wore a t-shirt with “What the *schwa symbol*?!” on it on a casual clothes day. BEST. LESSON. THAT YEAR.

while i'm on random thoughts there was a post a while ago asking peoples' favourite letters, consonant and vowel and like

i know, i know how much of an insufferably condescending amateur linguistics nerd that nobody wants to be friends with this makes me but

my favourite letters in english, consonant and vowel, are legit ʒ and ǝ (ezh and schwa), i whole heartedly love them
