Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments (AARA) are actions taken by the school to minimise, as much as possible, barriers for a student whose disability, impairment, medical condition or other circumstances may affect their ability to read , respond to or participate in assessment.  \nThe college follows the processes as outlined in the QCE and QCIA policy and procedures handbook available from [https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/senior/certificates-and-qualifications/qce-qcia-handbook](https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/senior/certificates-and-qualifications/qce-qcia-handbook)  \nThe college Principal manages the approval of AARA for students through members of the AARA Committee. AARA applications are submitted to the relevant AARA delegate for consideration by the Principal. Please return completed applications with supporting documents to the following delegates:  \nLong term: Disabilities including learning disorders-Deputy Principal- Inclusion  \nLong term: Mental health conditions or other conditions-Guidance Officer – Year 10-12  \nShort term: Temporary illness or misadventure-Deputy Principal-Year 11 and 12.  \nAll AARA applications must be accompanied by the relevant supporting documentation (outlined in Section 6.5.1 of the QCE and QCIA policy and procedures handbook) and made as far in advance as possible to meet the QCAA timelines. All evidence used to make decisions is recorded in the student’s file by the Principal or their delegate.  \nStudents are not eligible for AARA on the following grounds:  \n• unfamiliarity with the English language  \n• teacher absence or other teacher-related issues  \n• matters that the student could have avoided (such as technology issues)  \n• matters of the student’s or parent’s/carer’s own choosing (such as holidays or sporting events)  \n• matters that the school could have avoided.  \nHow decisions are made  \nPrincipals consider the limitations and restrictions and functional impact of the disability, impairment, medical condition or other circumstances and the specific types of adjustments that allow individual students to access the assessment and/or demonstrate what they know or can do. The decisions about adjustments may not be the same for every student or the same for each student for every assessment. Teachers and schools rely on evidence to make professional judgments about the types of adjustments provided for students. This evidence will reflect a wide range of practices of teachers and schools in meeting the educational needs of their students consistent with obligations under the DDA, the DSE and best teaching practice. The adjustment/s should not prevent the student from demonstrating the objectives of the assessment.  \nThe decisions may involve an adjustment to:  \n• how the instrument is presented to the student (e.g. for a student with a hearing impairment verbal instructions may be provided as written instructions)  \n• how the student responds to the assessment (e.g. a student with Developmental Coordination Disorder—DCD may complete the assessment using a computer with approved software)  \n• the time allowed (e.g. a student with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may have five minutes per half-hour extra time provided in supervised assessment)  \n• the scheduling (e.g. a student completes an assessment at a later time than others because of a car accident on the day of the assessment)  \n• the environment in which the assessment is undertaken (e.g. a student may sit in a different room to the other students as they need a reader)  \n• the mode of the assessment (e.g. a student with an injury may perform a different physical activity from therest of the cohort in PE in order to be able to demonstrate the unit objectives) .  \nApp","cbCaikui2LOTcNue","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikui2LOTcNue","pdf",298739,9,"English","# AARA Application Information: Long Term\n## Purpose and Process\n## How Decisions Are Made\n## Types of Adjustments\n## Applying for a Long Term AARA\n## Medical Documentation Required\n## Approved Practitioners\n## Information Required in the Report","[{\"question\":\"Who approves AARA decisions at Varsity College?\",\"answer\":\"The Principal manages approval of AARA for students through members of the AARA Committee.
