Curriculum

Term 4 Tutoring Timetable

Tutoring is offered by a number of teaching staff across a range of subject areas outside of class time. Please refer to the Term 4 Tutoring Timetable below and encourage your child to make contact with the teacher if they feel they would like additional assistance via tutoring.
The tutoring timetable has been uploaded to the College website and is available on SIA.  Tutoring commences this week.

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 - Confirmation, Results and QCE Eligibility

As per the letter sent home last week to parents and students, Year 12 students are in the midst of preparing for their final assessments (either External Examinations or IA4 tasks). It is imperative that all required assessment is completed to a satisfactory standard in order to receive a passing grade, and the subsequent 2 credit points for each subject. 
 
For general subjects, students should now know their total mark (/75 or /50) 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.

I hope by now all Year 12 students who are sitting External Assessments (EA’s) have familiarised themselves with their timetable in preparation for the block commencing Monday 27 October. 
A copy of the EA timetable, QCAA publications for external assessment preparation including Equipment Lists and approved Calculator lists are all available on SIA in the Assessment Dashboard.
