FAQ

Will we continue with our current timetable next term?
Yes. The timetable structure will remain, though the way teachers and students engage in the learning program will change and allow for flexibility.

Can I still get my ACT Senior Secondary Certificate?
That is our goal for every student, as always. Teachers have amended the learning program and unit outlines to ensure minimum assessment requirements are met for Semester One. Students will need to fully engage with the learning program from term 2

Will Year 12 T students receive an ATAR in 2020? 
Both the BSSS and ACT colleges are working together to maximise the opportunity for students to achieve an ATAR in 2020.

Will Year 12 T students sit the ACT Scaling Test (AST)?
Currently, the plan is that students will sit the AST. We ask that you participate in all the preparation activities.

My son/daughter has to complete a practical project which requires them to be at school. However, they are now required to work from home. What should they do?
Students will be required to complete alternative tasks in some cases. We are also looking at ways to support practical skills development. In the meantime students are responsible for being proactive and diligent in completing work and assessment.
