Self-reflection
To what extent are the resources available supportive of the teaching and learning processes in the school to achieve the curriculum objectives? Why are some resources unavailable in some facilities? How is that handled?
How are school facilities, resources, and equipment available in the school appropriate for the students' use and needs? Has the building been adapted and modified to suit the needs of students with disabilities (if any)? How was it confirmed? What is the evidence for that?

OUR SCHOOL’S WORK
School response
Human-owned judgement
01
School evidence
Choose evidence that shows what the school does. The same evidence can support more than one standard without uploading the file again.
Reading existing governed sources; no second evidence database is created.
02
What the evidence shows
What does the evidence tell us? Record each finding clearly, connect it to supporting evidence, then submit it for review.
Loading governed reflection and findings…
This layer interprets evidence; it never changes official QNSA text.
03
School judgement
Compare the reviewed findings with the QNSA rubric. A responsible person chooses the judgement and explains why; the system does not choose it automatically.
Loading professional judgement…
Judgement is human-owned and grounded in governed findings plus the official QNSA rubric.
