State schools
To detail the roles, responsibilities and processes for ensuring that senior education and training (SET) plans are developed and implemented, and transferred to other school learning providers, if required.
State schools ensure that students develop a SET plan in partnership with their parents by the end of Year 10. The SET plan is a key component of a school’s career education program. It maps out a plan of action to ensure students remain on track for success in senior secondary, post-school education and work.
During the SET planning process, students identify their intended learning option to be achieved through the compulsory participation phase. Students are supported to acquire the knowledge and skills to develop their SET plan and to review and revise it, where necessary, throughout Years 11 and 12.
During the compulsory participation phase, the main learning provider (school) ensures that learning opportunities are provided in accordance with the SET plan. The SET plan is reviewed and updated as necessary and transferred when required.
Schools are strongly encouraged to use OneSchool to complete SET planning processes.

Students with disability

To avoid doubt, a disability that is otherwise covered by this definition includes behaviour that is a symptom or manifestation of the disability.
Students with diverse educational needs
Students may have diverse educational needs that are not associated with disability. Tailored supports are developed and implemented to align with these individual needs, for example, translated materials for students for whom English is not their first language.
