Student Data Capture System (SDCS)

The Student Data Capture System (SDCS) is the main method for schools to send student details - including enrolments and assessments - to the QSA.

Information is maintained by schools for the four semesters of study during Years 11 and 12, and this information is used by the QSA to determine Overall Positions (OPs) and Field Positions (FPs), and to issue the Queensland Certificate of Education, Tertiary Entrance Statement, and Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement.

The SDCS allows your school to capture, update, and validate information for students in Years 11 and 12, and provides facilities to:

maintain student details and results
create, display, and print student assessment records
create, display, and print subject/class reports
validate student information
create, display, and print the distribution of Subject Achievement Indicators
enter, display, and print your school's proposals for Levels of Achievement
import information from other systems
export information to other systems.

The data needed in each submission is listed in:
