Hey!
Given everything that's been going on and how big the transition is from year 10 to QCE it makes sense that you might hit a point where it's hard to find motivation and concentrate. The important thing isn't that mark you got - it's what you do going forwards and how you can learn from it.
This does not automatically mean you have failed or will need to move down.
QCAA's guidelines online report that:
A school determines satisfactory completion of a unit when:
a student has had the opportunity to engage in the teaching, learning and assessment of the unit, and
evidence produced by the student in response to the complete assessment program (designed for reporting to the QCAA) demonstrates, on-balance, achievement of the syllabus standards at a C standard or better.

It sounds like on the whole you have been showing the syllabus standards above a C level. There is also provision for if other circumstances influence your ability to complete the assessment (
AARA).
To improve for term 4, it would be great to look at specifically you didn't do well at this term so that you can target those things. If motivation has been a big issue it's likely that you should spend more time looking after your wellbeing (healthy sleep, eating etc.) as well as looking at academic things you can change (like using a log of mistakes, changing how/if you revise, focusing on quality rather than quantity, using additional info sources to help you understand concepts etc.).
I hope this helps & please feel free to reply with follow up questions or comments
With your worry about "moving down" can you please clarify what specifically you're referring to here?
