Year 12

The Year 12s are reaching the final few weeks of their high school education, it is an important time for all Year 12 students to make sure they get the best result from their 12 years of schooling. Students undertaking ATAR courses should be busy preparing for both their mock and final WACE exams.

Personalised Mock Exam timetables have been issued to students. These will be held in the second week of the school holidays, except for English which will be held on the last day of this term (Friday, 22 September). If students miss an exam due to illness, they must have a medical certificate. If no medical certificate is presented, they will be awarded a zero for the exam as per the SCSA policy.

Students have also been given their personalised SCSA WACE examination timetables for both practical and written ATAR examinations. These are also available on the SCSA student portal at https://student.scsa.wa.edu.au/student-portal. Students require these timetables as “tickets” for entry to the examination room. All written examinations will be held at the College. A reminder that all SCSA WACE practical examinations will be held during the first week of the Term 3 holidays. Students should ensure they are familiar with the venue details provided and the time allocated.

Afterschool ATAR revision classes commenced in Week 6 and will conclude in Week 9 of term. This is a great opportunity for our students to get additional assistance from an outside presenter with extensive ATAR course delivery experience and marking of ATAR examinations.

Year 11

It is important that Year 11 students keep up to date with their work and submit all assessments on time. The achievement of 14 C grades over Years 11 and 12 is one of several SCSA requirements to achieve the WACE. As a guide, to keep on track to achieve the WACE, students need to achieve at least 8 C grades by the end of Year 11, or a minimum of 6 C grades if they are on track to complete a Certificate II. Students not achieving these targets place themselves in jeopardy of not meeting WACE requirements by the end of Year 12. No C grades are awarded for non-completion of certificates. Please note, students who are behind in their certificates or late with assessment submissions are required to stay back with me on Wednesdays Period 5 to catch-up.

There is a strong relationship between poor results and attendance less than 90%. Therefore, I cannot stress enough how important it is for students to attend school regularly.

Timetable 2024

I am currently formulating the 2024 school timetable. Students in Years 8 to 11 have submitted their course and elective preferences. All effort is made to accommodate student preferences, however, at times this may not be possible. Students who have not submitted any preferences will be chased-up and allocated into classes.

School Gates

The College has installed automatic gates to the main carpark and reception. All gates (including service road, Art and back gates) will be closed from 9am. Visitors to the school must enter through the reception gates where you can buzz to gain entry.

Thank you for your understanding.

Have a safe and relaxing holiday break.
