Year 10

Congratulations to our Year 10 students who will now either:

• Return to PBC in 2022 as Year 11 students; or
• Commence the next chapter of their lives in another education setting or place of employment.

Year 10 Students not Returning to PBC in 2022

If your student is not returning to PBC in 2022, please let Jason Cross know via jcros40@eq.edu.au.

Jason Cross will be leading your students in 2022 as the Deputy Principal in charge of Year 11 and he looks forward to reviewing each and every Year 10 student's Academic Report with a focus on effort and behaviour.

Reflecting over the Holidays

We encourage your students to reflect over the holidays on their engagement and academic performance to date. This is especially important as your student returns to PBC in 2022 and enters into the non-compulsory phase of schooling. Are they willing to be the best versions of themselves and give nothing but the best? This not only applies to academia but also to their sporting, cultural and artistic pursuits. We challenge every Year 11 (2022) student to step out of their comfort zone and take up the opportunities that our great school has to offer.

We wish the entire PBC community a safe and relaxing break. Ensure that you take spend time with the significant people in your lives.

Year 10 and Year 11 reports will be finalised and emailed home from Wednesday December 8.

A reminder that in 2022 all Year 10 and 12 assessment will be scheduled for the last week of each term. Year 11s will have a different schedule for Term 1 and 2 however will also have exams in the last week of school in Terms 3 and 4.

Students must know their Learner Unique Identifier (LUI) and password to log in and check their results. Students have been emailed and reminded on many occasions to log into this portal to check their account details but some have chosen not to do so.

Students will be able to download hard copies of their qualifications directly from the Student Portal on the myQCE website. They will not be sent hard copies from the QCAA though they will be able to request hard copies in the Student Portal.

Please note that as Year 12 results and Levels of Achievement are calculated by the QCAA, Year 12 students will not revive an Exit Statement or Report from PBC; they will only receive published results from the QCAA via the Student Portal.
