WACE to undergo changes in 2027
From 2027 students who are doing tertiary preparation endorsed programs must also complete at least one year 12 ATAR course.
That change has been made to recognise “ATAR courses best prepare students for university study and that [those] students generally aspire to university study”.
- Diplomas will not contribute to WACE achievement from 2027.
Only the limited number of approved Certificate IV qualifications on the School Curriculum and Standards Authority’s Certificate IV Specified Listwill contribute to the WACE.
From December 2027 “general
capabilities” will be recorded on the WA Statement of Student Achievement. This will provide information about the “broad knowledge, skills, behaviours and dispositions developed through senior secondary study for further learning, employment and community participation”.
