External Assessment Invigilators:
The QCAA appoints members of the Queensland community to observe and report on the administration of Year 12 assessments throughout the state, from October to mid-November.
Invigilators play an important role in promoting public confidence in the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) system and ensuring that proper and fair administrative procedures are implemented.
The invigilator role is independent. They are paid to undertake training and for the external assessment sessions they observe and report on.
Registrations of interest are now open for community members who wish to become an invigilator. Prospective applicants who register their interest will be notified when invigilator applications open in Term 2 (early June).
Past external assessment invigilators who wish to reapply are also encouraged to register their interest in advance.

• be at least 18 years of age
• be eligible to work in Australia

Certificate 2 in Sampling and Measurement
A number of students completed a Certificate II in Sampling and Measurement through Leichhardt.
The course is designed to give students a practical understanding of the skills and knowledge required to begin work in the resources and infrastructure industry as a technician taking environmental and other field samples. Topics will aid those students considering work in the fields of science and engineering.
There was no charge for VETiS eligible students. All transport, materials, PPE and other resources were be provided.
Toolooa thanks Leichhardt for their exemplary professionalism and active engagement with the students, which contributed to a highly enjoyable and productive experience for all involved.
