Student Connect magazine and student learning account login competition
Purpose
To advise schools about the distribution of QCAA’s Student Connect magazine to Year 12 students and a competition to encourage Year 12 students to log in to their learning account.
Background
Student Connect magazine highlights key aspects of Year 12 students’ final year of study including the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), Queensland Core Skills (QCS) Test, Overall Positions (OPs) and Field Positions (FPs).
Information
The May 2016 issue of Student Connect will start arriving in schools from 9 May.
In this issue, the QCAA is encouraging students to log in to their learning account on the Student Connect website — www.studentconnect.qcaa.qld.edu.au — to check their personal and
enrolment details and become familiar with the login process before results are released at the end of the year.
As an incentive, any Year 12 student who logs in to their learning account at least once between 1 May and 31 August 2016 will be entered into a draw to win a Microsoft Surface Pro 4.
What you need to do
• Distribute a copy of Student Connect magazine to each Year 12 student in your school.
• Issue or reissue LUIs to students in Year 12.
• Encourage Year 12 students to log in to their learning account.
