Year 10 Information

This week in PDE all our Year 10 students will complete the registration process for their myQCE Student Portal Account. Students must register for this account in preparation for years 11 and 12. They will require this account during the Year 10 Personal Futures Day next term and for activities throughout this year.

Year 12 Alternate Venue - External Examinations

QCAA envisage that all our Year 12 students will sit their scheduled external examinations at Shalom College. These exams run from Monday 21 October –Tuesday 12 November. The exam timetable will be released by QCAA later this term.

If there is any exceptional circumstance as to why your child cannot complete their QCAA external exams here at the College, please contact Mrs Norris as soon as possible to discuss this. It is a requirement of QCAA that an alternate venue must be identified so that extraordinary arrangements can be made ahead of time. We are required to apply to QCAA ahead of time for this arrangement.

It is important to note that all students must sit their scheduled external assessments. If a student does not sit an external assessment, they will not receive a final result for the subject and will impact their QCE credit.

Elevate Education Parent Webinars for Term Two

Last term over 130 parents attended the Elevate Education online webinars. This put Shalom in the top 20% of schools when it comes to parent attendance. This is excellent! It is wonderful to see our parents and hopefully students engaging in these practical and very worthwhile sessions.
