Year 12

Trial HSC exam schedules have been distributed to students this week. Most student’s have a number of assessments due over the next couple of weeks. Students are reminded that they should also be allocating time at home and at school in study periods to prepare for these exams. Class teachers are the best source for help in preparing but common tips to consider include summary notes, tables, practice exam questions/past papers, mind maps linking key points and content, flash cards for key terms/concepts. A reminder that understanding the syllabus should also be a priority when preparing for exams.

Year 11

Year 11 have end of year exams at the end of Term 3. Similar to Year 12, there will also be a number of assessments students will need to complete either at the end of this term or early in Term 3. Students should use the time now to prepare a revision/study schedule to help manage the workload and begin preparing for these exams.

Year 10

Thanks to the students and families who attended the Year 11 2025 Information night last week as well as the staff/students who gave up their time to speak to those in attendance. We are wrapping up the preparation phase of the process over the next week holding mentor interviews with students and their parents/carers. Please make an appointment on Compass for an interview if you have not done so already. The initial phase of subject selection should take place in Week 8 or 9.

The next round of Minimum Standards Testing will take place in Week 10. More details on specific days for the tests will be provided in coming days. Students need to be at school when these tests are on.

The Elective Information Handbook has been distributed to students this week (document link provided below). Next Tuesday evening we will be holding an information session for students and their families in the school gym.

The event will start at 5:30pm with LoL’s/Teachers from each of the KLA’s who run elective courses available to answer any questions you may have about any elective course you may be interested in. This will be followed by a short 30min information session regarding NESA requirements for electives and Stage 5 education as well as the process for choosing electives. All students are expected to attend preferably with a family member where possible.

Years 7-10 Reports

Semester 1 reports for students in Years 7-10 will be distributed in Week 10.

Reports are a valuable means to provide feedback on academic progress across the semester. Reviewing reports and making an appointment with a student’s teacher should be seen as a priority to help students reassess their learning goals so they continue to achieve academic growth in Semester 2.
