The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) continues to seek expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced people to undertake the role of External Assessor for the Year 12 ATAR Physical Education Studies ATAR school-based practical external assessment (SPEA) to be conducted in Term 3, 2025. The Authority will accept late applications beyond the previously advertised deadline of Friday, 28 February 2025.

External Assessors must express their interest by completing an External Assessor: Expression of interest form, which requires teachers to gain approval from their principal. The 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. Forms are to be returned via email to spea@scsa.wa.edu.au.

The role of External Assessor will provide an excellent opportunity for valuable professional development related to the Year 12 ATAR Physical Education Studies syllabus. Those interested should have experience working in schools with senior students in the Physical Education Studies ATAR practical component. 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 in Week 5 of Term 2 for consultation 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.

External assessment sessions at schools will occur in Term 3 between Weeks 2 and 8 during Term 3. External assessment sessions at schools may continue during Weeks 9 and 10 of Term 3 if required.
