Senior Secondary Update

Year 12

Year 12 students are only required to attend school to complete revision lessons in General subjects.

Students in Essential subjects that missed the Common Internal Assessment at the end of Term 1 due to Covid 19 will also have to attend selected revision sessions in the lead up to the exam on 23 October.

All other Applied and VET assessment should by now be finalised.

Year 12 students will have External Assessment for General subjects from Monday 26 October through to Tuesday 17 November.

The school website has a section which contains all the details regarding upcoming External Exams https://pbc-shs.eq.edu.au/curriculum/testing-and-assessment .

The QCAA has recently released a detailed guide for External Assessment, which has been published on the school website.

Students need to be familiar with the timetable, directions for students, equipment and calculator requirements included in these documents.

The whole PBC community is wishing all our Year 12s the best as they prepare for these assessments.

All Year 12 students have been emailed their LUI number and should by now have logged onto their QCAA learning account in the QCAA student portal. This is accessed via the myQCE website https://myqce.qcaa.qld.edu.au/index.html.  Students need to ensure that they use a personal email to register, as they will not have access to their school email at the end of the year. Student results will be published by the QCAA directly into their learning account on 19 December.

This is the first year of ATAR scores which will be calculated and published by QTAC. All ATAR students that wish to have their ATAR sent to them on 19 December need to register with QTAC, again using a personal email https://www.qtac.edu.au/atar/ .

Year 10 and 11

Year 11 students have commenced Unit 3 work and will complete summative assessment in the majority of subjects at the end of this term. Unit 3 and 4 subjects will contribute to students ATAR and both Unit 3 and 4 must be completed at a C level or higher for students to achieve QCE points.

This is the last opportunity that Year 11 students have to change subjects. Any students wishing to change should contact Mr McDougall or Mr Dixon as soon as possible.

Senior school admin is currently reviewing the academic performance of 10s and 11s. A reminder again that all students need to be passing at least 5 of their 6 subjects and that students that continue to fail more than 1 class may have their enrolment reviewed.

Assessment calendars for Term 4 will soon be published on the school website under Curriculum/Testing and Assessment.

Year 10 and 11 Shutdown exams will commence in the week of 23 to 27 November. All students may have timetabled exams up to and including the last day (27 November for 10s and 11s).

A reminder that all drafts and assignments are due before 9:00am on the due date and that exams cannot be given early to students because of other commitments. Please refer to the school assessment policy on the school website for further details.

A reminder that all Year 11 students must have passed a Unit of English and Maths by the end of Unit 2.
