2014 promises to be
another busy and
exciting year with our
personalised approach
ensuring we provide
every student with
opportunities to
fulfil their potential
at Seaview. This year
we are offering some
exciting new subjects including Pedal
Prix, Workplace Practices, Study Skills and
the Research Project at Year 11, as well
as increased opportunities for student
acceleration at a range of year levels.
I would like to take this opportunity to
extend a particular welcome to our Year 8
students and families and those who have
joined the Seaview Community from other
schools, overseas and interstate.
We are also delighted to welcome the
students who have enrolled in one or
more of our exciting Certificate Courses.
This year we are offering Certificate 1 in
Automotive, Certificate 2 and Certificate 3
in Creative Industries (Media) - Certificate
3 Technical Production (Music Industry
and Recording) and Certificate 3 Animal
Care. We are fortunate to be the first city
school to offer Animal Care, which has
a direct pathway to Veterinary Science
at Adelaide University. Each of these
certificate courses is fully accredited
attracting a range of credit points towards
SACE completion. The Certificate 3 courses
are Year 12 subjects and attract an ATAR
(Tertiary Entrance Ranking) for University
entrance.
Each year we also have a new intake
of International Students and we have
already welcomed 15 new students,
however, this number will continue
to grow throughout the year as
students join us for short term and
long term study tours. We value
the rich contributions and cultural
understandings these students bring to
our community.
We look forward to working in close
partnership with all of our families to
ensure the best outcomes for our young
people at Seaview High School.
We also welcome the following staff to
our community:

Year 12 SACE Results
It gives me great pleasure to announce the results for the 2013 Seaview High School Year 12 cohort. The hard
work and commitment of both the Year 12s and their teachers was evident in the results, with all of our students
who achieved their SACE (South Australian Certificate of Education) also achieving an ATAR (Australian Tertiary
Admissions Ranking), allowing them to apply for University or TAFE courses.
A number of our students accessed the full range of options available, including VET (Vocational Education

is this personalised approach to learning and flexibility of our curriculum at Seaview, which allows so many of our
students to be successful.
Congratulations must go to our 2013 Dux of School, Saxon Nelson-Milton, who achieved an ATAR (with bonus
points) of 99.95, the highest possible score a student can receive! To further cap off an outstanding year, Saxon
also won the prestigious Adelaide University Principal’s Scholarship. A summary of our top outstanding results are

Vocational Education training
In 2014 Seaview has introduced 4 new VET courses to complement the Certificate II
in Creative Media that commenced successfully in 2013.
These include the Certificate III in Creative Media (which is comprised of most of
the students who completed the 1st year of Certificate II last year), Certificate III
in Technical Production (Music), Certificate III in Animal Care & Husbandry and
Certificate I in Auto (Mechanical) .
The Certificate III courses in particular are provided for students who have a variety
of pathways in mind including University. A completed Certificate III course attracts
significant points towards a student’s SACE completion ( e.g. 110 points out of
200 from the Cert. III Animal Care course with these points awarded at Stage 2) as
well as providing one of the 4 stage 2 subjects needed to gain an ATAR (Australian
Tertiary Admissions Ranking). We currently have 43 Seaview and 40 external
students enrolled in these subjects. More information about each of these courses
will be highlighted in forthcoming newsletters.
Any queries about VET can be directed to me on 8377 8000 or 0439 809 464.

All our international students have benefited from
our quality teaching programs and enjoyed the
cultural experience with our wider community. We
anticipate more international students joining us
next term.
Our international students have been mentored to
understand the different teaching styles between
different education systems and learned the
practical strategies to improve their cross-cultural
communication skills.
The challenge for our international students is to
learn to adjust and cope with the volume of work.
So we recommend two to three hours of homework
outside of class per subject per day.
Any international students experiencing difficulty
with their work and homework should speak to Ms

The homestay parents have played a very important
role in assisting our international students to settle
into the new school environment successfully.
We appreciate your efforts in supporting our
students with establishing homework habits,
strengthening the school rules by liaising with us
as well as attending the parent-teacher interview. If
