Year 12 Leavers Information

WACE results are online Sunday 20 December 2020.

Year 12, 2020 students will be able to access their results online via the student portal on Sunday, 20 December 2020. To log on, students will need their student number and other personal identification information. It is advisable that students provide an alternate email address via the student portal. This is to avoid issues where school email accounts close prior to the release of results. Students who need their passwords reset need to do so via the forgot your password link on the student portal. The new password will be sent to the email address students have used to register in the student portal. Students who experience technical difficulties in accessing their information need to contact the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) at wacehelp@scsa.wa.edu.au (monitored from Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) between 8.00 am to 4.00 pm).

Year 12 students will be able to download digital copies of their folios of achievement (that is, Western Australian Certificate of Education, the Western Australian Statement of Student Achievement and ATAR course report) in mid-January 2021 from the student portal.

Students who are seeking details relating to university admission (including their ATAR) are advised to contact Tertiary Institutions Service Centre (TISC) viainfo@tisc.edu.au or 9318 8000.
