The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) is seeking expressions of interest by Friday, 28 February 2025 from suitably qualified and experienced persons to undertake the role of External Assessor for the Physical Education Studies school-based practical external assessment (SPEA) to be conducted in Term 3 2025.

External Assessors will be required to express their interest by completing an External Assessor: Expression of interest form. The expression of interest form requires current teachers to gain approval from their principal. Expressions of interest are to be returned via email to spea@scsa.wa.edu.au.

The role of External Assessor will provide an opportunity for valuable professional development related to the Physical Education Studies syllabus.

Those interested should have experience working in schools with senior students in the practical component of the Physical Education Studies ATAR course. An expression of interest does not guarantee appointment.

Those successful in being appointed as an External Assessor will be notified in Week 6 of Term 1.

A draft External Assessor timetable will be provided to appointed External Assessors in Week 5 of Term 2 for review and a finalised External Assessor timetable will be provided in Week 9 of Term 2.

Sport-specific training sessions for External Assessors will be undertaken in Weeks 6 to 10 of Term 2.

SPEA sessions at schools will occur during Weeks 2 to 8 in Term 3.

SPEA sessions at schools may occur during Weeks 9 and 10 of Term 3, if required.

The External Assessor: Expression of interest form is available on the Authority website under the SPEA tab at https://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/syllabus-and-support-materials/health-and-physical-education/physical-education-studies.
