YEAR 12 INFORMATION

WACE Examinations

Each ATAR course has an ATAR course examination. Students who are enrolled in Year 12 ATAR courses (Units 3 and 4) must sit the ATAR course examination in that course.

Year 12 Personalised WACE Examination timetables are now available on the SCSA website https://studentportal.scsa.wa.edu.au. These contain the date/time and location of each exam, both Written and Practical. students and parents should check it carefully and let Peter Frusher know if there are any discrepancies. This needs to be downloaded, printed and taken with them to each exam as proof of their identity. I suggest they put it in their blazer pocket as they are required to wear their blazer to each exam unless they have an exam at another location other than Scotch whereupon they will wear smart casual clothing.

Please remember that failure to attend an exam due to misreading a timetable is not an acceptable reason.

Should you have any questions, see Mr Frusher.

Sickness/Misadventure

If a student's performance in a WACE examination is affected by a temporary sickness, non-permanent disability or unforeseen misadventure suffered immediately before or during the examination period OR a student is prevented from attending an examination due to illness or misadventure, a SICKNESS/MISADVENTURE APPLICATION FORM can be obtained from Mr Frusher or downloaded from the SCSA website for completion and forwarding to School Curriculum & Standards Authority. There is a long list of reasons that will not be accepted by School Curriculum & Standards Authority but if a student is unsure, he can to check with Mr Frusher.

Examination Rules of Conduct

The rules for conduct of the Authority examinations are published in the Year 12 Information Handbook, which is available for download from the Authority website at http://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/year-12-information. It is the responsibility of all candidates to ensure that they understand all instructions relating to the examinations.
