B.School assessment weighting, external moderation benchmarks, and scaling formulas

B.It determines the final scaled grade awarded by the external SACE moderation panel
C.It eliminates the requirement to conduct safety assessments or gain parental consents

Explanation: Identifying resources early ensures project feasibility. Students must verify that tools, venues, materials, and support systems are accessible before committing to project milestones.
