01 Dec QCAA is inviting Year 12 Arts teachers to submit exemplary student work for inclusion in the inaugural publication of Pinnacle.
Pinnacle 2020: The Arts will be an online showcase presenting outstanding school-based senior internal assessment. Pinnacle represents the work of students who have achieved the highest point of success in their field. Up to five student samples will be selected for each of The Arts General subjects.
Students will be notified about requirements for permission and commentary if shortlisted. Selected work will be accompanied by commentary from the student and teacher. For the 2020 publication, student work may also be collected by the QCAA from confirmation processes and samples.
Final selection of works will be determined by a panel of subject matter experts and will consider distribution of Queensland locations and school sectors.
