Congratulations to the Year 12 Class of 2026

Congratulations to our Year 12 students on completing their Higher School Certificate (HSC) examinations! This significant milestone marks the culmination of many years of learning, dedication, perseverance and personal growth.

Throughout their time at Caroline Chisholm College, the Class of 2026 has demonstrated resilience, integrity and a strong sense of purpose. We are incredibly proud of their commitment to their studies, the maturity they have shown throughout the HSC examination period and the positive contributions they have made to our College community.

As our students prepare for the next chapter of their lives, whether through further study, vocational pathways, employment, travel or other opportunities, we encourage them to embrace the future with confidence, courage and a commitment to making a positive difference in the world.

We congratulate each member of the Year 12 Class of 2026 and wish them every success and happiness in the years ahead. We look forward to coming together to celebrate their achievements and mark the completion of their secondary schooling at the Year 12 Formal.

Study Skills and Preparing for Year 12, 2027

During Week 2, our Year 12 students for 2027 participated in two study skills seminars facilitated by Elevate Education. These sessions were designed to equip students with practical strategies and effective approaches to study as they begin their final year of secondary schooling.

The seminars focused on two key areas:

• Time Management: Developing effective study routines, working smarter, making productive use of study groups and overcoming procrastination.
• Ace Your Exams: Exploring effective preparation strategies, exam room techniques, managing time under examination conditions and developing clear, concise responses.

Follow-up activities will be incorporated into classroom learning to help students apply these strategies within their individual subjects.

Importantly, learning for the HSC has already begun! Across their subjects, students are developing their understanding of syllabus outcomes and the knowledge and skills required for success. They are also establishing positive learning habits and effective study routines, including organising their notes, creating comprehensive study summaries, reviewing content regularly and developing strategies to consolidate their learning.

Establishing these practices early is an important step towards building confidence, independence and a strong foundation for the year ahead. We encourage families to support students in maintaining consistent study routines and making the most of the learning opportunities available to them as they embark on their Year 12 journey.
