2018 School-based Assessment Audit: Unit 4

All dates relating to the School-based Assessment Audit are published annually on the VCAA website.

VCE providers were notified of their audit requirements for Unit 4 through VASS on Monday 16 July 2018. The following screen in VASS contains the list of studies being audited and the outcomes of past audits: School Program > VCE > School-based Assessment Audit.

The School-based Assessment Audit has two stages for Unit 4. The first stage consists of a study-specific audit questionnaire completed online by teachers on behalf of the VCE provider and reviewed by an audit panel appointed by the VCAA. A PDF copy of the audit (for reference purposes only) can be obtained from VASS by searching the relevant study name in the downloads section.

Responses to the first stage of the audit are due by midnight on Monday 6 August 2018. Before beginning the audit please refer to the instructions provided at the beginning of each questionnaire.

If there is not enough detail provided in the response to the audit, or if an error is detected, VCE providers will proceed to the second stage of the audit of providing further evidence.

Outcomes of the Unit 4 audit will be distributed to VCE providers through VASS on Monday 10 September 2018.

Further information on the School-based Assessment Audit can be found on the VCE General Advice and Policy webpage, or by contacting Julia Tewkesbury on (03) 9032 1735 or email: school.assessment.vcaa@edumail.vic.gov.au.
