In my article in our previous newsletter I provided a comparison of the current system with the new system starting with Year 11 students in 2019 You can access the information contained in my prior article through this link httpwwwindoorooshseqeduauwp-contentuploads20160811-Edition-21-July-2017-1pdf Below I have included some further information relating to Tertiary Entrance changes

Current System New System

Tertiary Entrance Statements and OPs

OP-eligible students receive a Tertiary Entrance Statement in addition to the Senior Statement and Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) This shows the Overall Position (OP) and Field Positions (FPs) The OP is a rank from 1 to 25 calculated by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) The calculation of OPs and FPs uses studentsrsquo achievements in 20 semester units of Authority subjects (the equivalent of five subjects) including at least three subjects for four semesters each scaled against group results in the Queens-land Core Skills (QCS) Test

Tertiary Entrance Statements will no longer be issued by the QCAA The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) will replace the OP An ATAR is a number between 000 and 9995 in increments of 005 It will be derived from achievement across a broad range of learning achievements using a process of inter-subject scaling An ATAR will be calculated from an eligible studentrsquos best five subject results one of which may be an Applied subject that does not include an external assessment or a competency-based vocational education and training certificate at a level III or above Students must satisfactorily complete a QCAA English subject (C or better) to be eligible for an ATAR However a studentrsquos result in English will only contribute to their ATAR if it is one of their five best subject results

Tertiary Entrance and QTAC

The QCAA is responsible for tertiary entrance including the calculation of OPs QTAC manages entrance to most tertiary institutions in Queensland For OP-eligible students the OP is used for tertiary entrance in Queensland For OP-ineligible students QTAC calculates a tertiary selection rank using schedules that consider results in the best 20 semester units of Authority Authority-registered subjects andor VET modules recorded on the Senior Statement

QTAC will be responsible for tertiary entrance in Queensland The ATAR calculated by QTAC will be the primary mechanism used for school leavers seeking entrance to tertiary study in Queensland QTAC will no longer operate schedules for ranking students who are ineligible for an ATAR

BAGS IN CLASSROOM POLICY UPDATE

Unfortunately this year we have experienced an unacceptable level of theft in our school that despite our best efforts has seen staff unable to identify the thief or thieves This has occurred across various areas of the school Consequently the installation of video cameras has not been practicable and such a surveillance mechanism would not I believe be in keeping with our schoolrsquos value of Each personrsquos dignity As a consequence our Indooroopilly Leadership Team has taken the decision to allow students to carry their bags with them into classrooms This will be a trial throughout term 3 and students have been advised of our expectations that bags are stored safely under their chairs or in designated classroom areas to ensure workplace health and safety practices are implemented and the chance of students or teachers tripping over bags and injuring themselves is minimised It will be an individual choice as to whether or not bags are taken into classrooms but parents may wish to discuss this new policy with your student or students in terms of safeguarding property

The Creative Generation Visual Art Award is an annual event initiated by the Queensland government for excellence in Art A state-wide competition and travelling exhibition showcasing the work of senior secondary school students from across Queensland enables young artists the opportunity to exhibit their work to a geographically broader audience This year the work of four Year 12 Indooroopilly State High School students has been selected for regional display the first stage of a state-wide competition which will culminate next year in an exhibition of the finalistsrsquo work at Brisbanersquos Gallery of Modern Art

Ally Ayscough Natalia Gallardo Sophie Galvin and Annabelle Goonasekera are all painters and their contributions here are noteworthy not only in the technical skill evidenced in each workrsquos application but also in terms of the theoretical knowledge that led to their development The works are all portraits utilising the traditional technique of oil painting but it is in the impetus of their conception the application of the paint and the theoretical underpinnings of each unique narrative that each piece stands alone

In terms of technique Allyrsquos painting Sweet Water is perhaps the most lsquotraditionalrsquo of the four in that it is painted lsquoala primarsquo in oils and on canvas Painted from a rsquoselfiersquo however it differs from the others in its spontaneity and in the self-imposed discipline of her strict creative process Inspired by culturally embedded notions of femininity her aim is to create an image which combines a lsquofemininersquo (pastel) palette with an expressive gesturally heroic painterly surface and in so doing to debunk traditional constructs pertaining to ideals of the feminine

Nataliarsquos painting Abuelito with its dynamic crusted coagulated surface deals with deeply embedded memories of dread and fear Instigated by recurring dreams its very creation and her use of brooms knives and other decidedly lsquoartlessrsquo tools was a deliberate ploy utilised in order to spontaneously unleash both painterly gesture and her pent-up emotion

Sophiersquos self-portrait Can you see me yet is inspired in part by the painters Odd Nerdrum and Sandro Chia Nerdrum for his surfaces and Chia for his agitated brushwork and electric colour palette With this work she has explored the connections between her personality and her physical appearance by combining an allusion to physical movement within the context of a traditional oil self-portrait

Annabellersquos work Christabelle on first viewing appears to be a slick reproduction of a painterly portrait study by an extremely skilled academic painter Closer examination reveals however that the allusion to reproduction is in fact the result of her painstaking application of the paint onto the reverse side of an acrylic sheet Painting the details first Annabelle has lsquopainted backwardsrsquo covering the image as she has progressed to eventually create a work to be viewed from the other side of its support The outcome is a painting which combines the lsquoslicknessrsquo of a photographic reproduction with the painterly gesture of traditional portraiture bringing to mind questions pertaining to the authenticity of an image the relevance of craft in contemporary culture and the aura or lsquocult valuersquo of a hand-made work of art

The studentsrsquo work will be on display at the Brisbane Institute of Art Wilston from September 4th

The Creative Generation Visual Art Award is an annual event initiated by the Queensland government for excellence in Art A state-wide competition and travelling exhibition showcasing the work of senior secondary school students from across Queensland enables young artists the opportunity to exhibit their work to a geographically broader audience This year the work of four Year 12 Indooroopilly State High School students has been selected for regional display the first stage of a state-wide competition which will culminate next year in an exhibition of the finalistsrsquo work at Brisbanersquos Gallery of Modern Art

Ally Ayscough Natalia Gallardo Sophie Galvin and Annabelle Goonasekera are all painters and their contributions here are noteworthy not only in the technical skill evidenced in each workrsquos application but also in terms of the theoretical knowledge that led to their development The works are all portraits utilising the traditional technique of oil painting but it is in the impetus of their conception the application of the paint and the theoretical underpinnings of each unique narrative that each piece stands alone

In terms of technique Allyrsquos painting Sweet Water is perhaps the most lsquotraditionalrsquo of the four in that it is painted lsquoala primarsquo in oils and on canvas Painted from a rsquoselfiersquo however it differs from the others in its spontaneity and in the self-imposed discipline of her strict creative process Inspired by culturally embedded notions of femininity her aim is to create an image which combines a lsquofemininersquo (pastel) palette with an expressive gesturally heroic painterly surface and in so doing to debunk traditional constructs pertaining to ideals of the feminine

Nataliarsquos painting Abuelito with its dynamic crusted coagulated surface deals with deeply embedded memories of dread and fear Instigated by recurring dreams its very creation and her use of brooms knives and other decidedly lsquoartlessrsquo tools was a deliberate ploy utilised in order to spontaneously unleash both painterly gesture and her pent-up emotion

Sophiersquos self-portrait Can you see me yet is inspired in part by the painters Odd Nerdrum and Sandro Chia Nerdrum for his surfaces and Chia for his agitated brushwork and electric colour palette With this work she has explored the connections between her personality and her physical appearance by combining an allusion to physical movement within the context of a traditional oil self-portrait

Annabellersquos work Christabelle on first viewing appears to be a slick reproduction of a painterly portrait study by an extremely skilled academic painter Closer examination reveals however that the allusion to reproduction is in fact the result of her painstaking application of the paint onto the reverse side of an acrylic sheet Painting the details first Annabelle has lsquopainted backwardsrsquo covering the image as she has progressed to eventually create a work to be viewed from the other side of its support The outcome is a painting which combines the lsquoslicknessrsquo of a photographic reproduction with the painterly gesture of traditional portraiture bringing to mind questions pertaining to the authenticity of an image the relevance of craft in contemporary culture and the aura or lsquocult valuersquo of a hand-made work of art

The studentsrsquo work will be on display at the Brisbane Institute of Art Wilston from September 4th

to the 9th

At the regional exhibition award ceremony on Saturday the 9

th students will be presented with certificates of

excellence commendation regional encouragement and participation Noel Herberg Senior Visual Art Teacher
