SACE Coordinators

Appointed by each school, SACE Coordinators manage the operational and educational aspects of the SACE program, ensuring that systems run smoothly and in accordance with SACE Board requirements. Their duties include overseeing student enrolments, managing the assessment calendar, coordinating the submission of student work for moderation, and administering examinations. Coordinators also provide vital support to teachers, act as the main liaison with the SACE Board, and ensure clear communication of key updates and requirements to students, staff, and families. Their role is pivotal in maintaining program integrity and helping both staff and students navigate the SACE journey successfully.

To support SACE Coordinators in their role, the SACE Quick Reference Guide for Coordinators has been developed as a practical resource that outlines essential responsibilities and key areas of focus. It provides a high-level overview of expectations, best practices, and support mechanisms to ensure effective program coordination, confident decision-making, and alignment with SACE goals. We recommend coordinators review this guide early in their SACE journey.
