Important dates for principals and teachers of Year 11 students
2012 saw the introduction of the Record of School Achievement (RoSA) to provide a cumulative credential that details a student’s academic achievement right up until the time they leave school.
As the RoSA is now available for Year 11 students, as well as Year 10 students, there are a few important dates for principals and teachers.
For example Year 11 students completing Stage 6 Preliminary courses are awarded A to E grades, and they can take the literacy and numeracy tests.
Further updates, reminders and links to resources will be provided over the year.
