Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews – In Person

The Year 7-12, in person, Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews are taking place on Tuesday 6 October between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm. Bookings are now open and will close at 9:00am on Tuesday 15 September.

Please note: These interviews are specifically for families who did not attend online interviews on Monday 17 August. For any teacher you met during the online interviews on 17 August, we ask you to not book timeslots on 6 October 2026. This is to ensure all families have the opportunity to attend a Semester 2 Parent/Teacher/Student interview.

Students are encouraged to attend these face-to-face interviews. If so, they must be dressed in full academic uniform.  Details on how to book these interviews will be sent to all parents and carers next week.

End of Term 3 Exam Blocks 

Year 7-12 End of Term 3 Exam Block schedules have been released. Please check your emails or access the Parent Orbit App for a copy of these schedules. 

Students in Years 5-9 will all remain at school during the Exam block period. Year 10, 11 and 12 students will be granted study leave (to study at home and only come to campus for scheduled exams). Any student who is not up to date with all required assessment items will not be granted study leave and will be required to remain at school. This includes modules for Certificate and Diploma courses. Students need to be at their exam venue no later than 15 minutes before their scheduled start time, to allow exam entry and equipment checks. 

Study leave for exam blocks is a privilege we offer our senior and pre-senior students. This can be removed for poor behaviour both outside of and at school, disruptions to other classes, and boys not being prepared for their exams (especially with punctuality and equipment).

It is an expectation that all other students will be at school for their exams. A Medical Certificate will be required, if a student is absent from these important assessment tasks.  No exams will be sat early. 

Other important things to note: 

• all boys must have their student ID card for their exams.  This allows us to mark our roles accurately.  If your son has lost his student card, please order a new one this week. 
• Please ensure boys have necessary equipment.  This includes pens, pencils, highlighter and calculator.  
• A student will make up a missed exam as soon as possible when they return to school.  Boys will be emailed make up session time and rooming. 

Request for Leave – Unapproved leave over assessment periods 

Please know that if leave has not been approved for missing assessment (assignments and exams), that a summative mark of NA will appear on the End of Semester Report for the relevant subject. This is in line with QCAA policies in regard to leave and missing assessment and includes events such as family holidays. Students will still sit the assessment on return to school, and receive formative feedback; however, the result will not be counted towards the summative result at the end of the semester for the following reasons: 

• Deadlines for reporting not being met 
• Conservation of academic integrity 
• Workload of teachers and staff around marking and reporting times 

• The validity of the mark completed in timelines given for the assessment 

   

Please note that this does not apply to leave that has been granted for approved reasons (Illness, etc.) as per QCAA policies.  

The end of semester report will not be issued until all assessment has been completed. 

Exam Block | Make-up Exams

Please note that Students missing an exam during exam block, will be required to make-up that exam after-school, between 3.20pm and 5pm. Make-up exams will occur throughout the exam block and could be scheduled for any afternoon throughout the exam block. If all missed exams are not completed during exam block, make-up exams will continue to be scheduled until End of Term and into Term 4.

Students & Parents will be notified through the Curriculum Office, via an email, advising the rescheduled date & time in advance. As with all exam block expectations, students must be ready to sit any exam upon their return to school after leave.
