Work Samples - Grade C
The work samples for this grade, together, assist teachers to gain a common understanding of the standard of work typically produced by students whose performance, on balance, matches the description for Grade C.
At the end of Stage 5, School Certificate grades in Mathematics for Grade C are further differentiated as either C6 or C5. Read more about School Certificate Grading.
