CSCEXT Task 6Examination25%2027-01-04 – 2027-01-21
Semester 2 examination, 3 hours. The outline says Week 34-36; counting from the start of semester this site places 4–21 Jan in weeks 33–35. The school calendar and this site count differently, so both are shown — treat the school's notice as final
ELDEXT Task 8Final examination30%2027-01-29 – 2027-02-12

PHYEXT Task 6Final Evaluation30%2027-01-29 – 2027-02-13
All of Units 3 and 4

Rows marked EXT are WACE external examinations: set by SCSA and sat statewide. Everything else is school-based assessment.

This site can only confirm part of that split: MAM's final (40%) and ELD Task 8 (30%) are directly evidenced; the other three are inferred from falling inside the final examination period (25 Jan – 13 Feb). Check with the school.

The subject column uses course codes: MAM Mathematics Methods, HBY Human Biology, PHY Physics, ELD English (EAL/D), CSC Computer Science — all defined in the glossary. Every outline marks its dates as tentative and subject to change. This page is a personal summary; the official school and SCSA documents take precedence. One inconsistency could not be reconciled: the Computer Science final exam falls outside the final-evaluation window shown above, which comes from wording differences in the outline itself. Check with the school.
