How school works in South Australia, from NAPLAN to the SACE, and when tutoring helps most.
How the SACE and ATAR work
The SACE is run by the SACE Board of South Australia. Students need 200 credits. Compulsory parts include a Stage 1 subject usually taken in Year 10, Stage 1 English and maths at a C grade or better, and at least 60 credits of Stage 2 subjects passed at C- or better.
Each Stage 2 subject is 70% school assessment and 30% external assessment, usually an exam or investigation. Grades run from A+ to E-. SATAC calculates the ATAR from a student’s best Stage 2 results, scaled so different subjects can be compared fairly.
- SACE Board
- Subjects, external assessments and grades
- SATAC
- Calculates the ATAR
- Stage 2
- 70% school, 30% external
Key dates in the SA school year
SA schools run four terms. NAPLAN is sat in March in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, and results are reported in four levels: Exceeding, Strong, Developing and Needs additional support. That gives a clear read on where your child sits against the national standard.
- Term 1
- NAPLAN in March for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9
- Terms 1 to 3
- Stage 2 school assessment tasks
- Term 3
- Year 10 subject selections for Stage 1
- Term 4
- Stage 2 exams in late October and November
Choosing Stage 1 and 2 subjects
Students choose Stage 1 subjects in Year 10, and Stage 1 results guide what they take at Stage 2. Pick subjects your child can do well in, then check prerequisites for the university courses they are considering. Maths is the choice parents ask about most, and the levels below are the usual options.
- Essential Mathematics
- Everyday and workplace maths
- General Mathematics
- Statistics, finance and modelling
- Mathematical Methods
- Calculus and functions
- Specialist Mathematics
- Taken alongside Methods
When do families usually start?
Most families start when a subject begins to feel hard, rather than the week before a test. In primary school that is often reading, spelling or times tables. In high school it is usually Year 7, when algebra and essay writing arrive, or Year 10, before senior course choices.
In Year 12, school assessment is 70% of each subject, so the year is won task by task. Through Terms 1 to 3, lessons prepare for each assessment and work on the feedback that comes back. In Term 4, lessons move to past SACE exams under timed conditions.
- Weekly
- This week’s class work first, then one weak spot
- Before each test
- A timed practice set and a review
- Final term
- Past papers, marked and talked through in the lesson

Curriculum guide
Get matched with a tutorSouth Australian schools, year by year
What students in South Australia learn at every year level, and how a tutor helps.
Reception to Year 2
In South Australia the first school year is Reception. Students learn letter sounds, early reading and counting, then build spelling, sentences and place value by Year 2.
Reception to Year 2
- Letter sounds
- Early reading
- Counting and place value
- Writing sentences
Model sentence
My favourite food is pumpkin soup because it warms me up on cold nights.
How a tutor helps
Practises sounds and number facts in short, regular sessions, so the basics become automatic.
Based on the ACARA Australian Curriculum (Version 9.0): English and Mathematics, Foundation to Year 2.
Years 3 to 6
Years 3 to 6 build times tables, rounding, fractions and decimals, along with comprehension and planned writing. NAPLAN is sat in Years 3 and 5.
Years 3 to 6
- Times tables
- Rounding and place value
- Fractions and decimals
- Narrative writing
Worked example
Round 4,682 to the nearest hundred.
Answer4,700
How a tutor helps
Finds the exact gap, often place value or times tables, and works on it every week.
Based on the ACARA Australian Curriculum (Version 9.0): Mathematics and English, Years 3 to 6.
Years 7 and 8
Year 7 is the first year of high school in South Australia. Students move into algebra and ratios in maths, and analytical and persuasive writing in English. NAPLAN is sat in Year 7.
Years 7 and 8
- Algebra and ratios
- Integers
- Persuasive writing
- Responding to texts
Sample paragraph opener
High school should start at 10 am. A tired student learns very little in first period, and a later start would fix that.
How a tutor helps
Helps your child settle into high school work, from setting out algebra to planning a paragraph.
Based on the ACARA Australian Curriculum (Version 9.0), Years 7 and 8.
Years 9 and 10
Years 9 and 10 cover equations, trigonometry and essays on set texts. Many students start a compulsory Stage 1 SACE subject in Year 10, which counts toward the certificate.
Years 9 and 10
- Simultaneous equations
- Trigonometry
- Essays on set texts
- Choosing Stage 1 subjects
Worked example
Solve x + y = 10 and x − y = 4.
Answerx = 7, y = 3
How a tutor helps
Strengthens algebra and essay writing before Stage 1, and helps your child choose subjects with confidence.
Based on the ACARA Australian Curriculum (Version 9.0), Years 9 and 10; SACE Board of SA.
Years 11 and 12 (SACE)
Stage 1 is usually studied in Year 11 and Stage 2 in Year 12. Each Stage 2 subject combines school assessment with an external exam or investigation.
Years 11 and 12 (SACE)
- Stage 1 and Stage 2
- School assessment tasks
- English and Mathematical Methods
- External assessment
Sample essay opener
Both texts admire resilience, but only one asks what it costs, and that question shapes everything its writer leaves unsaid.
How a tutor helps
Plans each assessment task with your child and practises external exam questions under time.
Based on the SACE Board of SA, SACE subject outlines and assessment.

Caring and considerate.
They answered my enquiry on a weekend within half an hour which I did not expect. The others I contacted at the same time, replied the following week. My nephew is learning with Andy and the great plus about Andy is he finished high school a few years ago and is now at Uni. The price is much more affordable my nephew has improved so much considering he has slight autism. Tutero, Joey and his team have proven very caring and considerate. Thank you Tutero.
