YEAR 11
Year 11 Key Information
- Year 12 Assessments operate under stringent rules set out by QCAA. Please review these expectations with your child so they are not penalised for missing assessment deadlines. Assessment planners and the QCAA policy can be found in your MyCE App.
- Please ensure that your child has checked assessment planners. Some subjects will hold the first internal assessment (IA1) in the next few weeks of Term 1, 2025.
- Only Heads of Departments can issue assessment extensions. As per QCAA policy, students must seek extensions before the due dates. Not all extensions will be granted.
