End of Term 4 2015

A word from Allan Blagaich, CEO

Hi folks.

Here we are at the end of Term 4, 2015. Where has the time gone?

Hi folks.

Here we are at the end of Term 4, 2015. Where has the time gone?

Thank you and well done

So, the curtain has come down on the school year, I’d like to say thank you to everyone who has been a part of our work in 2015. It has been a big year for all of us here at the School Curriculum and Standards Authority. Thank you to the hundreds of teachers across the state from all the school sectors and systems who have worked with us in collecting work samples, taking part in pilot groups, developing resources and providing feedback.

In 2015 we have seen the successful implementation of the first courses in the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline. Students from Pre-primary to Year 10 received reports on their achievement in English, Mathematics, Science and History.

Well done to everyone during this first year of implementation. Next year will be an opportunity to consolidate this year’s work and build towards implementation of HASS and Health and Physical Education in 2017.

The wait is nearly over

In just a short while, thousands of students across the state and in our international partner schools are going to receive their final results. These days, hard copies of the results are mailed out but students don’t have to wait for the post to arrive. On the day in question (December 30 this year) a button is pushed and everyone’s results go live online.

Students only get to see their own results. It isn’t like those days where people who matriculated and the results were published in the local paper. There is a secure website for students at https://www.wace.wa.edu.au.

The online release means the wait ends for everyone at the same time. There’s no three day delay for kids living in the country. If you are away on holidays you can check out your results online.

If you’re a student waiting for your results, I know that it can be an anxious time. Remember, though, whatever your results for Year 12, the new year will bring new challenges and new opportunities. I wish you all the best and encourage you to embrace them.
