Term 4 Commencement
Monday 2 October is a Public Holiday for the King’s Birthday, with Term 4 commencing on Tuesday 3 October.
Year 12 ATAR Trial Exams
As reflected in the College Calendar, the Year 12 ATAR Trial Exams will be held in the second week of the September Holidays, from 25 to 29 September 2023.
The schedule is available at the link below.
Whilst the ATAR Trial Exams are not compulsory, students are strongly recommended to attempt these with the view to get additional practice and written feedback in the lead up to the External Exams.
In the eventuality that a student cannot attend an exam, they can collect a physical copy of the same from the relevant Head of Department, in Week 1 of Term 4. They then have the opportunity to attempt these in their own time and seek verbal feedback from their teachers on questions that they find challenging.
Students are to wear their Summer Uniform or Sports Uniform with Senior's Jersey to do the ATAR Trial Exams. Please contact Mrs Mohan if you have any further questions.
