Understanding Assignments for the Grade 11 and 12 Euka Program
At Euka, we strive to provide the best education for your child. As part of our program, we have Grade 11 and 12 Euka courses that help students prepare for their senior studies and future career opportunities. In this article, we will be discussing assignments and how they are used in our program.
Do Parent Planners and Parent Assessment Checklists Need to be Filled Out?
One of the key features of the Grade 11 and 12 Euka program is that students do not need to fill out Parent Planners or Parent Assessment Checklists. This is because we have a different process in place that helps students report their progress to the Department, as outlined below.
Accessing Assignments
If your child is enrolled in the Grade 11 or 12 Euka program, once you are logged into the Student Portal, you will notice that on the right-hand side of your screen, there is an "Assignments" section you can click into.
The Assignments section within the Student Portal lets you view and click on each assignment for every term, providing access to assignment details and marking criteria.
When you click the "View" option for the desired assignment in each term, you'll see an overview of the assignment and be able to download both the assignment file and the marking rubric from this section.
The "Helpful Resources" section, shown below, if applicable, offers an example from past Euka students for the selected assignment, along with useful websites and additional resources that Grade 11/12 students can refer to for guidance.
Marking Assignments
Once your child has completed an assignment, marking can be done using the criteria sheet/marking rubric file in the Assignment section on the Student Portal, as shown above.
You can also refer to the examples of assignments provided and their results, as this will also give you an idea of how our teachers are marking and help you better understand the assignment process.
How Many Assignments Should Students Complete?
For students completing the Assessment-Free Pathway, the assignments are optional. We do advise that students complete as many of them as they can to consolidate their understanding, and also so they can be used as work samples for reporting to the home education unit as required. You may also want to reach out to the home education unit in your state to confirm how many assignments they may require for reporting purposes.
The completed assignments do not need to be submitted to Euka Teachers; instead, they are marked by parents, as explained above.
Storing Assignments
After the assignment has been completed and marked, it is important to store these documents in a safe and easily accessible location. They may come in handy in the future when your child applies for other courses, jobs, traineeships, or apprenticeships. Having access to examples of their work can be useful if requested by external organisations after they finish schooling.
We hope this article has helped you better understand the assignment/reporting process for the Grade 11 and 12 Euka Assessment Free Pathway program. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us
