Year 10

Welcome to Year 10 - the essential link connecting Aspley State High School’s Middle School Years 8 and 9 to Senior School Years 11 and 12.

In Year 10, we provide a flexible Pastoral Care program that takes into consideration the development of each individual student and meets the needs of a wide range of capabilities and interests.

Throughout Semester 1, we cover many topical issues relevant to today’s youth including:

  • Health education and relationships,
  • Stress and resilience,
  • Bullying, its effects and how to cope – whether in person, via the internet or telephone,
  • Health education and relationships,
  • Illicit drug use – including the use of alcohol and smoking,
  • Leadership roles,
  • Self motivation and organisational skills,
  • Queensland Police – The law and its relationship to students,
  • Queensland Youth Advisory Service – employee/employer relationships, and
  • Defence Force

Career guidance

In Semester 2, we focus on career guidance where students have the opportunity to create personal employment profiles online.

Students are given direction on how to prepare for the work force by choosing one of the many pathways available to them.

Students are issued with a Senior Education and Training Plan (SETP), individual interviews are undertaken with the involvement of parents and guardians and discussions made to correct subject selection for Years 11 and 12.

School values

The Semester 2 Pastoral Care program is designed to achieve a better understanding of the value – ‘Caring for Oneself while Caring for Others’.

Year 10 students take part in a rotational program of CPR, Basic First Aid, Self Esteem, Public Speaking, Rock and Water – a program that increases self confidence, self awareness and self reflection.

Points system

Year 10 students are managed under a Points System that allows students to collect points each time they exhibit positive behaviours by adhering to our school values throughout the year.

Students who accumulate the required number of points will be invited to attend an end of year Semi-Formal that will be held on the Brisbane River at the end of November.

Sports

All students must participate in the Wednesday Afternoon sports program. This is a compulsory program that runs throughout the school year.

Students will be given choices to participate within inter-school competitions or recreational activities. A flat fee is charged to subsidise these school activities.

Parents who choose to make regular medical appointments during this time to excuse students from this program will be required to present the name and phone number of the medical practitioner for verification by the school Principal.

All appointments must be presented to the Principal by Tuesday of that week. Unauthorised absences from sport will be treated as truancy.

Work Ethic Policy

Students who fail to attend school regularly or fail to submit assessment on time, place their educational outcomes at risk of underachieving. Aspley State High School's Work Ethic Policy outlines clear expectations for student assessment and attendance practices. Students who fail to adhere to these expectations could have their enrolments cancelled during Year 11 and 12. Year 10 students who fail to meet their attendance obligations will be asked to repeat Year 10. Students who fail to complete assessment tasks will be prevented in selecting associated subjects in year 11 and 12.
