Middle School Showcase

The end of last term saw our Year 7 – 9 students proudly display a variety of the work that they create across all subject areas. From reading narratives, exploring museum displays, learning about the human body, examining the creativity of artwork, learning about balloon powered cars, wind powered turbines and how to design a golf course, and being mesmerised by some amazing musical performances - this is just a small sample of what was on offer at the Showcase.

This afternoon was well attended, and I’d like to thank all the families that came to view the showcase.

Thank you also to the teachers and support staff who worked tirelessly to collate the display. It was an amazing afternoon showcasing our students many talents and hard work.

Year 11 Subject Changes

The end of Unit 2 is the last opportunity to change subjects for year 11 students. There are no opportunities in year 12. If your student would like to discuss the possibility of a subject change with Mrs Allen, please have them make an appointment using the link in SIA notices. These interviews need to be completed by the end of Week 3.

Year 12 Mock Examinations

This week and over the next two weeks students will receive feedback on their progress, analyse their responses and work towards further improvement in preparation for External Exams. It is imperative that all students are present during the weeks leading up to the examinations to ensure they are sufficiently prepared for success.

Year 12 - Confirmation, Results and QCE Eligibility

Towards the end of last term, and the start of this term, we have been receiving notification of the confirmed results for Year 12 students for all IA3 results in General and General Extension subjects. Students will be informed of their ‘confirmed’ result for each subject when available by their teacher. Shortly after this result will rollover into their myQCE Student Portal account.

Students should now know their total mark (/75 or /50) for each of their general subjects leading into the external assessments. A student must sit the external assessment to receive a final grade which will be a result out of 100. This mark will convert into an A – E result and recorded on the Senior Statement. Please be aware if a student does not receive an overall result of C or better, they will not receive the two QCE credits for successful completion of the subject.

If a student does not sit the external assessment (without an approved AARA) they will receive a NOT RATED for the subject on their Senior Statement. This will also mean they cannot receive the allocated two QCE points for the subject. 

For a student to receive a QCE they must have successfully obtained 20 credits during their senior study and passed at least one unit of both literacy and numeracy. Students can check their QCAA Learning Account to see their current QCE eligibility and can determine if they are on track to receive their QCE.
