ASSESSMENT EXTENSION, CHANGE OF DATE AND ADJUSTMENT APPLICATIONS – NEW FORM FROM SEMESTER 2

From the beginning of Semester 2, Palm Beach-Currumbin State High School will introduce a new Extension, Change of Date and Assessment Adjustment Form.

The updated form provides a single application process for students and parents/carers seeking an extension, change of assessment date or assessment support.

Both digital and printable versions of the form are available on the school website.

Completed forms can be submitted to Junior Secondary Administration in A Block (Years 7–9) or Senior Secondary Administration in Y Block (Years 10–12), or emailed to ParentSupport@pbc-shs.eq.edu.au.

Further information about the school's Assessment Policy, along with links to the new form, is available on the school website.

E-SCOOTER AND E_BIKE LAWS ARE CHANGING

From 1 July 2026, tougher laws for e-scooters and e-bikes will be rolled out including:

new police powers to seize and destroy illegal devices

parents can be fined if children under 16 ride illegally
fines of more than $500 for offences including not wearing a helmet, doubling and careless riding

A TEAM TUITION

From Term 3 2026, PBC will offer an opt-in academic support program for students in year 7-12, through a partnership with A Team Tuition.

This initiative has been designed for families looking for extra academic structure and guidance beyond the school’s existing support.

This program is designed to be:

Delivered immediately after school
Conveniently on school campus
Small-group tutoring (groups of 4-6 students)

Tutors will rotate amongst the group, providing targeted support while helping to confidence, motivation and ownership of learning.

These sessions provide a proven routine: we tackle immediate homework, assessment, and exam stress first to reduce anxiety, then transition into English and Math tasks to build lasting independence.
