Term One Wrap-up

Our Senior students at Carmel have demonstrated the pillars across multiple aspects of college life and I am so impressed to see them developing as Consistent Committed Learners. I wish all of our Year 10 – 12 students a restful break and congratulate them on a successful term of learning that required resilience and flexibility in the face of many unique challenges. Well done to all of our Senior students at Carmel!

Term One Progress Reports

A reminder that, all Carmel students will receive a Term 1 progress report based on judgements around our Consistent Committed Learner Qualities Matrix. These judgements will give insights around Carmel students attitudes and behaviours towards their learning.

While academic results aren’t included for our 7-12 learners, I would encourage all families to talk with your students about their results. Remember – you can access these reports from The Learning Dashboard. Ensure you are not trying to access Academic Reports as this is the archive for our old Student Reporting System.

Year 12 Examination Block

Congratulations to all our Year 12 learners who successfully completed their Unit 3 Senior Examination block. I’m happy to report that our Year 12s tackled their exams with confidence, resilience and diligence and their behaviour was impeccable.

QCAA MYQCE PORTAL – Years 11 and 12

All Years 11 and 12 students need to register for the QCAA MyQCE online portal, as a key resource to check subject enrolments and results, track progress towards the QCE, view final subject results, and download official statements and certificates (once eligible).

Students can register for the portal via the link: https://myqce.qcaa.qld.edu.au/your-qce-pathway/student-portal-and-learning-account

Once registered for the portal, students will see the following features inside:

• My Details — where you can check your personal details
• My Learning Account — where you can view your subject and course enrolments, check your QCE eligibility and access your results and Senior Education profile (SEP) once eligible
• My Timetable — where you will see your external assessment timetable (for General subjects)
• My AARA — where you can view the status of access arrangements and reasonable adjustments (AARA)
• My Online Learning — where you can complete the QCAA academic integrity course and print a certificate of completion.

Year 10 Pathways

Next term, our Year 10 learners will begin the process of the Senior Education and Training Plan which will see them choosing their subjects and pathways for Years 11 & 12.  I encourage all Year 10s over the holidays to start thinking of their future pathways, passions and talents so that we can ensure all of our Year 10s are equipped with the skills to make these important decisions.  

If you’d like to engage in conversations with your learners and are looking for additional resources, my best recommendation would be to visit the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) website to learn about all things Senior Secondary schooling and the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE). A guide to parents and carers is available here:
