Candidates who have a permanent or temporary disability, illness and/or specific learning disability that could disadvantage them in demonstrating their knowledge, skills and understandings in standard assessments may have their school apply to the School Curriculum and Standards Authority to sit ATAR course examinations under special arrangements.

Applications can be made for the written and and/or practical examinations.

The granting of special examinations arrangements is not automatic, but takes into account medical and/or psychometric evidence plus supporting school-based information related to the candidate’s ability to access the examination. The role of special examination arrangements is to provide reasonable access to an examination. Each application is considered individually, with decisions based on the nature of each examination to be sat by the candidate.

Please contact School Psychologist Penelope Radunovich on 9380 0510 or penelope.radunovich@education.wa.edu.au regarding applications for special arrangements.

Applications must be submitted by Thursday, 2 April 2020.
