End of Year Examinations and Assessments

It is wonderful to have all of our students back on campus. We understand the challenging year that it has been; however, we encourage all students to maximise the time that we have for learning and assessment.  

The VCAA Examination Period for our Year 12s and other students studying Unit 3/4 Studies commences on Tuesday 10 November. A significant proportion of our Year 11 students are completing one or more Unit 3/4 Studies. A letter outlining processes and expectations will be sent to each of these Year 11 students.

We wish all of our students completing VCAA Examinations the very best as they complete their final preparations for these examinations and look forward to hearing of their achievements at the end of the year. 

For Year 11 students, Semester 2 Examinations commence on 12 November after a study day on 11 November. The timetable will be published on the SEQTA Examination Information Portal Page for students and parents.  A letter providing all details will be distributed this week. 

Due to the late return to onsite learning, there will be no Year 9 or 10 Examinations, this year. All assessments will be completed in timetabled classes with students’ own teachers. 

VCE Classes Commence and Resources for 2021

Students have received notification of their VCE subject allocations for 2021 and there has been an opportunity for students to request a change of subjects. Applications to change will be considered but will not be possible in all cases. 

On Monday 23 November, students will commence their VCE classes for 2021. The VCE Resource List is available through Campion and information has been sent to all families. The information is also available on the SEQTA Parent and Student Welcome Pages. Resources must be ordered by Tuesday 3 November to ensure delivery to homes, prior to commencement classes. It is essential that students attend all of the scheduled commencement classes with the required resources. 

Our current Year 9 students, who have enrolled in an acceleration study for 2021, attend the VCE Unit 1 Commencement Classes. They will require the resources for that study. 

There will also be a VCAL Orientation Program for all students enrolled in the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning for 2021.
