Hi Maryann, we're expecting further information this week, but as far as we know, principals have been advised:<br>
<br>
<br>
- That Unit 1 and 3 Semester dates should be extended by 2 weeks<br>
<br>
- The date for entry of Unit 3 coursework scores has been extended to October 2020<br>
<br>
As soon as any more details are released, we'll share them. L<br>

Hi, this is what I got from school<br>
<br>
Please find below a concise summary the most pertinent information communicated to us.<br>
<br>
<br>
* A new VCE exam schedule will be published in next few weeks; it's likely that more exams will be scheduled for each day and exams times will shortened<br>
* End of Unit 3 is now 26 th June (This allows us an extra 2 weeks to deliver the content)<br>
* Advice will be provided next week pertaining to which subjects are allowed to conduct SACs/SATs onsite<br>
* New Study Designs for Unit 4 will be released on 25/4. They have been written and are currently being reviewed by VRQA for approval.<br>
* Unit 3 SAC/SAT scores submission date now extended to Oct 12 (This leaves VSC sufficient time to validate formative assessment and firm up rankings)<br>
* VCAA are taking registrations for Principal's advice webinars and then subject-specific webinars as of 17/4 (BAN/ TGR will forward the links for these as they become available)<br>
* VCAA intend to establish communication channels for teachers for the provision of real-time advice<br>
* VCAA reiterated that Minister of Education has stated that the entirety ofTerm 2 will be undertaken remotely; Term 3 will be reviewed at a later date<br>
<br>
