EXTERNALLY SET TASKS (UPCOMING TERM 2), 6 May – 17 May

All students enrolled in a General Year 12 course are required to complete the Externally Set Task (EST) developed by the SCSA for that specific course. The EST is compulsory and forms part of the school-based assessment. It is included as a separate assessment type with a weighting of 15% for the pair of units.

The EST will take 50 minutes and will be administered under test conditions during class time. A schedule for the ESTs is available on MyASC under Curriculum. 

COURSE CHANGES

Please note that Semester 1 course changes for students in Years 9–12 are no longer possible. Year 12 students who wish to withdraw from a subject still have until August to make their final decision. The next opportunity for Year 11 students to make course changes will be in Week 8 of Term 2, immediately following the Semester 1 examinations. Year 9 and 10 students may request changes to Semester 2 options at the end of this semester.

OLNA, ROUND 1, Term 2 Monday 22 April – Friday 03 May 2024

The OLNA is an online literacy and numeracy assessment. It is designed to enable students to successfully meet the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) requirement of demonstrating the minimum standard of literacy and numeracy.

Students who have achieved the required standard of the three components of reading, writing and numeracy in their Year 9 NAPLAN* are acknowledged as having demonstrated proficiency in using a range of ACSF Level 3 skills in that component, and will not be required to sit the corresponding OLNA component. 

Year 11 and 12 students who have not met the minimum standard will be required to sit the OLNA Round 1 test. Relevant parents/guardians will receive information via email at the end of this term. OLNA Information for Parents/Carers brochure is available online HERE.
