AST @ LTC

2021 COVID Lockdown Update:

We have just received the following information from the BSSS. We will continue the Friday afternoon AST prep sessions as per the Online Timetable until the new dates.

ACT SCALING TEST (AST) 2021

The ACT Scaling Test (AST) was scheduled for Tuesday 31 August and Wednesday 1 September 2021.

As the ACT is in lockdown, the AST has been postponed until Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 October 2021.

The Board acknowledges that this can be a stressful time for students and families.

The Board is committed to the health and well-being of students and to processes that support the validity of academic results.

All plans and arrangements for the AST will be subject to the public health directions and advice at the time.
