The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) will be conducting Assessment workshops for the new Physics ATAR Year 12 syllabus. The purpose of these workshops is to provide teachers with information on the Authority’s assessment requirements for the new Physics ATAR Year 12 syllabus to be implemented in 2026.

The workshops are intended for schools offering the Physics ATAR Year 12 syllabus in 2025 and schools planning to offer the Physics ATAR Year 12 syllabus in 2026. The sample support materials will be published in Term 3.

The workshops will focus on developing a course and assessment outline, constructing sample assessment questions and developing analytical marking keys.

Each workshop will include:

• unpacking the sample support materials provided by the Authority
• developing an assessment outline.

The workshops are not compulsory and are free to attend. Schools are responsible for any costs incurred (for example, teacher relief) as a result of attendance at the workshops.

The dates for the workshops are :

• In-person: Monday, 15 September 2025 – Technology Park Function Centre, 2 Brodie-Hall Drive, Bentley, 12.30 pm – 3.00 pm
• In-person: Friday, 19 September 2025 – Telethon Speech and Hearing, 36 Dodd Street, Wembley, 12.30 pm – 3.00 pm
• Online: Friday, 24 October 2025, 9.00 am – 11.30 am.

The Authority will use Webex as the delivery platform for the online workshop, and registrants will need to have downloaded the application prior to the meeting to participate.
