Year 10 & Certificate Courses

Transition to work and Further Education, Year 10 Courses, Information Technology, Certificate 1 in Work Education and Certificate I and II in Music Industry.

Assessment in these subjects is continuous.  An outline of the assessment program for these subjects will be given to learners at their first class.

Senior Courses

A series of formative tests (including trial senior exams) will be given during the course.

 Examinations are controlled by the Queensland Studies Authority (QSA) and are held in November.  Results are mailed to learners in late December.

Visit the Queensland Studies Authority website for examples of past exam papers and syllabus documents at this address. http://www.qsa.qld.edu.au/testing/extern-exams/materials.html#a

 If you are employed, you are advised to let your employer know that you are studying externally as you will require time off from work to sit for the examination/s.  Some subjects have a morning or afternoon paper only, others have two papers on the one day. Most employers are very cooperative and grant special leave to sit for examinations.

THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR LEARNERS WHO MISS A SENIOR EXAM TO SIT AT AN ALTERNATIVE TIME.      

 In special circumstances learners may request a statement of attendance to support an application for entry to James Cook University or Barrier Reef Institute of TAFE.  An appointment should be made with the Head of Department or Guidance Officer to arrange such a statement.

 It is possible to sit at another centre in Queensland, this is done at the time of nomination in June. It is also possible to sit for examinations outside the state, outside Australia even, but it is the responsibility of the learner to meet all costs associated with being supervised for the exam and the postage costs.
