Parents of students in Years 10, 11 and 12 who need to complete one or more components in Round 2 of the Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA) later this year have been notified via email.
The OLNA Reports for all students have been uploaded on SEQTA today for all students and parents to access.
The Year 10 Parent Information Evening was held on Tuesday 10 May. Parents and students who were unable to attend can watch a video of the evening HERE.
The Year 10 Examination Timetable will be published next week.
Years 11 and 12 Examinations commence on Monday 30 May and conclude on Monday 13 June. Examination timetables have been published and are available below.
As a result of the recent escalation of student absence and missed assessments due to COVID-19, the College has made a decision to make some short term changes to the College Assessment Guidelines. The following changes will apply until further notice.
All Parents
Given the number of forced absences at school at the present time, the College is trying to be as flexible and compassionate as possible, allowing students, where possible, to complete assessments upon their return to the College. Sometimes, this may not be possible as the assessment may have been returned to the class. In such circumstances, the student will receive a standardised mark for the missed assessment. This mark is calculated at the end of the semester and again at the end of the year and takes into account all of the students' results throughout the year. I believe it is important to keep things in perspective, and always trying encourage and reassure our students.
Only Years 8 to 12
VERY IMPORTANT
The College is aware of student absences in Years 7 and 9 and will implement catch up NAPLAN tests between Wednesday 18 May and Friday 20 May. More information will be provided to parents of students in Years 7 and 9 early next week.
Basic information about NAPLAN is available HERE. Additional information can be accessed via the Schools Curriculum and Standards Authority's website.
