Students wishing to accelerate into a Languages course in Stage 6 may now accelerate into any course for which they are eligible, including Beginners Languages courses.
ACE 8043: Acceleration in Stage 6 courses has been updated to reflect this change.
Advice in ACE 4028 and ACE 8043 has also been updated to clarify the highest level course that students can accelerate in for each key learning area.
Students can accelerate in:
- all courses (grade advancement),
- in one course,
- in many courses.
Acceleration must be based on the principle of compression of work, not omission of work.
