TEACHING AND
LEARNING: YEARS 10-12
Curriculum and Certification:
The Year 10 - 12 curriculum is drawn from the South Australian Certificate of Education Board (with the exception of Year 10
Mathematics which is sourced from the Australian Curriculum). Students in Years 10 - 12 work towards achieving the Northern
Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET) and the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).
Curriculum Design:
The Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training, which is derived from the SACE, is a modern, internationally-recognised secondary school qualification designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and personal capabilities to
successfully participate in our fast-paced global society. In addition to subject specific content and skills, the NTCET is
designed to develop personal capabilities within learners: literacy, numeracy, information and communication technology,
critical and creative thinking, personal and social, ethical understanding and intercultural understanding.
