Year 9 & 10 Assessment Bands
In 2025, SCHS is transitioning to new Assessment Bands for all students in Year 9 and 10. These bands provide a clear understanding of the level students are performing at whilst also providing the opportunity for challenge beyond the course level.
On the 24th February Year 10 parents were welcomed to a Webinar where the changes were explained. If you would like to access this Webinar, please refer to the Parent A-Z.
Please note there are no changes to the VCE and IB approaches to assessment and grading.
