Years 10 – 12
Provisional Statements and Eligibility Reports
Purpose
To notify schools that Provisional Statements and Eligibility Reports for Years 11 and 12 students have been posted to the school’s secure website and are available for downloading until 19 November 2010.
The Queensland Studies Authority (QSA) will not be distributing hard copies.
This is the last opportunity for Year 12 students to check Provisional Statements before the December certification.
Schools and students should check the information on these statements and reports to ensure the accuracy of student learning accounts at this stage.
Background
The QSA is continuing the practice of providing Provisional Statements to Years 11 and 12 students.
Eligibility Reports are also provided to all Queensland senior schools to check student eligibility for the range of options contained in the Student Education Profile. These should be considered in conjunction with the Provisional Statement to provide maximum information and assistance for schools and
students.
Schools should print Provisional Statements and distribute to all Years 11 and 12 students for checking of reported enrolments and demographic details. Each Provisional Statement has clear instructions attached.
Explanatory notes will accompany the Eligibility Reports to assist schools and students.
Information
It is crucial that all details recorded for certification are current and accurate. Any inaccuracies in enrolments not reported to QSA could result in a student not receiving a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), Senior Statement, Statement of Results, Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA) or Tertiary Entrance Statement. Anomalies can only be corrected by the relevant learning provider. Schools should also note the following:
Schools should receive a Provisional Statement for each enrolled student.
Schools should only report learning that has been undertaken at the school.
Details in the Student Learning Account and Student Data Capture System (SDCS) must coincide exactly in order for data to be transferred from SDCS to Senior Learning Information Management System (SLIMS).
Any approved relaxation of completed core requirements will not appear on these Provisional Statements.
