Last week, Year 12 students and families were emailed by the school with advice and reminders about the upcoming WACE Examinations. This information has also been discussed in Education Plus. Of course, please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions at all.

The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 and is providing ongoing advice for students, teachers, school leaders, parents/guardians/carers and the community as the situation evolves. The Board of SCSA continues to work from the premise that no student should be disadvantaged as a result of the COVID-19 situation. SCSA encourages everyone to stay up-to-date with their latest communications and resources as they become available. Students are asked to log into the SCSA Student Portal every day before each examination.

The Student website https://student.scsa.wa.edu.au/ now includes a general advice page for Year 12s. The page also links to the Curriculum and Assessment Advice – COVID-19 page for students. The updates to the Parent and Community website https://parent.scsa.wa.edu.au/ provide additional information and advice to support Year 12s. The new information is collected under an additional tab: How can I help my Year 12? The focus of the initial SCSA update is on finishing Year 12 (all students) and completing the ATAR course examinations (ATAR students).
