Share your views on new QCE system processes

Following the initial implementation of the new QCE system in 2019 and 2020, the QCAA is conducting a post-cycle review of its processes and procedures. Current Year 11 and 12 students and their parents/caregivers are invited to have their say by completing an anonymous online survey.

The survey can be accessed here

Thank you to all teachers, parents, and students involved in the Parent/Teacher interviews that were completed on Wednesday. These interviews are a vital opportunity to receive specific feedback and information on a student’s progress. Additionally, the interview is the chance to identify strategies for improvement for the term ahead. The hard work now is in the consistent implementation of these strategies.
