Unit 1 Exams

All students undertaking a Unit 1 subject will sit exams next week. These exams will run from Monday 5th to Wednesday 7th June. A detailed timetable can be found on Compass, and a hardcopy was given to the students on Tuesday.

Students had the following exam protocols outlined today in Advisory:

Students must arrive at the exam room (portables) 15 minutes prior to the start of their exams.
They may not leave the exam room until the end of the session.
Students must not communicate with each other inside the exam room.
Stationery must only be carried in a transparent container.
Water may be brought into the exam room in a clear container, without any writing on it. No other food or drinks may be consumed.
Mobile phones must remain off and either left in the locker or handed in at the start of the exam.
Students must remain at school on site from 9.00am – 3.15pm, even if they do not have an exam. They will utilise any spare blocks to study.
Year 10 students will attend classes as normal throughout the week, other than when they need to attend an exam.
Students are expected to wear school uniform throughout the exam period.

Students competing in the cross country may sit a supplementary exam on Thursday, for any exams missed on Tuesday.

These exams are compulsory for all students studying a Unit 1 subject. Unavoidable absences must be communicated as soon as practicable, with appropriate documentation, so that alternative arrangements can be made.
