Statement of Results

A statement of results is issued to Year 12 students who complete at least one course unit, endorsed program or unit of competency. The statement of results is a cumulative record which is issued at the end of senior secondary school. 
 
The statement of results records if the WACE requirements have been achieved. If WACE requirements have not been achieved, the statement of results records English language competence, if achieved.
 
The statement of results also records:
  • exhibitions and awards granted
  • WACE course scores
  • grades achieved in course units
  • VET qualifications and VET units of competency achieved
  • endorsed programs achieved
  • number of community service hours completed
  • results in D and E code subjects from previous years.

WACE course report

A WACE course report is issued to all students who sit the WACE examination in that course. There is a separate WACE course report for each stage of a course. 
 
The WACE course report records:
  • school marks
  • moderated school marks
  • raw examination marks
  • standardised examination marks
  • WACE course score
  • a description of the knowledge, skills and understanding demonstrated by the student
  • State-wide distribution of WACE course scores
  • the candidature of the course.
 
The WACE course report shows how the student performed relative to:
  • the course standards (i.e. 69 represents high achievement for that pair of units)
  • all other students who completed and sat the examination in that pair of units (represented by a location on the graph).
 
It is a requirement that Year 12 students receive their statements of results at the beginning of January.  As complete information about exhibitions and awards is not available at that time, students who receive an award (except the Certificate of Excellence) are given an amended statement of results at the awards ceremony held in February.

Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)

A student's Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is calculated by the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre (TISC) and is not included on the statement of results.  Students seeking advice regarding university admission should direct their enquiries to TISC (+61 8 9318 8000).
