Senior Secondary Update
Senior Schooling
It’s been another successful year for Senior Secondary in 2022 with close to 400 students graduating last month. Our Year 10’s and 11’s successfully undertook their final exams for the year before we wished them well for summer break. It is at this time of year that we wish to pause and say thankyou to all of the wonderful staff who support our Senior Students, from the classroom teachers and teacher aides to the administration and support staff - thankyou.
We hope that all of our students find time to relax over the break and come back to 2023 energised and ready to learn. A gentle reminder that Year 11 and 12 start back on Monday 23rd and Year 10 on Tuesday 24th January. Any student in Year 10 undertaking a VPP subject is asked to sign in to and out of school for the relevant Year 11 period on Monday 23rd January.
We wish all of our PBC families a wonderful festive season and a very Happy New Year.
Reporting
Year 10 and Year 11 reports will be finalised and emailed home from Wednesday 7 December.
A reminder that in 2023 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.
Release of year 12 results
The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) will release student QCEs and Senior Statements and Statements of Results through the Student Portal on the myQCE website https://myqce.qcaa.qld.edu.au/index.html from 9:00 am on Friday 16 December. 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 receive an Exit Statement or Report from PBC; they will only receive published results from the QCAA via the Student Portal.
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
ATARs are calculated by the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC). All ATAR eligible students should have registered with QTAC (https://www.qtac.edu.au/atar/ ) to ensure that they receive their ATAR on 16 December.
