2019 VCE School-based Assessment Audit
Each year, schools are audited for at least one VCE study, and all VCE studies are subject to the annual School-based Assessment Audit. Schools were notified of their Unit 3 requirements for the 2019 audit through VASS on Monday 25 February.
The screen in VASS where schools can access the list of studies selected for audit at their school is:
School Program > VCE > School-based Assessment Audit (ensure the search function is filtered to view only Unit 3 studies).
The first stage of the School-based Assessment Audit consists of a study-specific audit questionnaire completed online by teachers on behalf of the school. Responses to the audit questionnaire must be submitted by Monday 18 March and detail the planned approach to assessment for Unit 3 in 2019.
