Assessment

Our teachers use a variety of strategies to assess student learning specifically tailored to the needs of the course and cohort of students. Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are assessed on achievement of competencies. We provide detailed information to students about what we expect from them throughout the year and how their work will be assessed. Students have a number of formal assessments throughout their schooling.
