In order to create a level playing field for all of our students in the Higher School Certificate Examination, Disability Provisions are available to a small number of students in Year 12 with documented medical or learning difficulties. Disability Provisions may include the use of reader writers, withdrawal, rest breaks and occasionally, for extraordinary circumstances, extra time.
NESA requires detailed evidence before provisions are granted for certain conditions. This documentation must be dated no earlier than the beginning of Term 4.
If you believe that your student may be eligible, please contact myself or the College for details of NESA requirements.
Disability Provisions may be available even though your student has not accessed provisions before if you can provide sufficient documentation.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding Disability Provisions.
