titleFurther evidence for satisfactory completion

If students are at risk of receiving an ‘N’  pre-emptive discussions are held with the student and their parents/guardians. They are assessed routinely throughout the semester on a variety of tasks, which can be re-taken to demonstrate competence.

Redeeming outcomes – submitting further evidence for satisfactory completion

If work submitted by a student does not meet the required standard, the teacher may consider other work relating to unit outcomes that the student has completed for the unit. This work may include class work, additional tasks or discussions with the student that demonstrate their achievement of the outcome. The teacher may also provide the student more time to complete or submit further work. This is only to redeem an N to an S for the outcome. See VCE Assessment Procedures

titleSpecial Provision

A student may be eligible for exam assistance or adjustments to work load if affected to a significant degree by illness or other serious problems, or if they are disadvantaged by any physical disability or other impairment such as a learning problem. These arrangements are negotiated between the student and their parents, teachers and the Senior Sub School leader. The Principal makes the final decision about all cases of Special Provision.

For further details see the VCAA publication "Special Provision".

In class adjustments in VCE VM.

There are a number of ways the school can make alternative arrangements to assist students in VCE VM. For example, resetting of a substitute task, allowing the student extra time to complete work, adjusting/ modifying the task (differentiating) to students completing an alternative work outside of the class time where the student must sign the appropriate VASS Authentication Record form

titleSpecial Provisions for exams

Eligible students may apply to the VCAA for special arrangements for their exams. In the case of Year 12 exams, applications must be supported by recent and thorough independent professional advice (medical, psychological and/or educational test results). This could mean, for example, rest breaks or the use of a computer in exams. Applications must be made through the Senior Sub School leader as soon as possible. Applications are due in to VCAA early March. Emergency Arrangements can be made immediately prior to exams if necessary.

  • The VCAA will make the final decision on your application.
