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
• a competition to encourage Year 12 students to log into 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). It also contains key dates for 2015, useful information on career planning and scholarships, profiles of past students and an overview of the QCE Achievement Awards.
Information
The May 2015 issue of Student Connect magazine will start arriving in schools from 4 May.
Student learning account cards for Year 10 students will be sent to schools the following week.
As part of this issue, the QCAA is encouraging Year 12 students to log into their learning account on the Student Connect website studentconnect.qcaa.qld.edu.au between 1 May and
31 August 2015 to familiarise themselves with the learning account login process and to check their personal and enrolment details. As an incentive, any Year 12 student who logs into their learning account at least once between 1 May and 31 August 2015 will be entered into a draw to win one of three iPad Airs.
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 into their learning account.
