YEAR 7-11 EXAMINATIONS

As a College, we acknowledge the importance of examinations and the valuable skills students develop through focused study and diligent effort. These are essential aspects of their growth during the senior secondary years. Students consistently receive feedback on their learning through various assessment tasks, and examination results offer additional meaningful feedback for both students and parents. The Semester 2 Examinations provide a crucial opportunity for students to consolidate their learning and apply the study skills and techniques they have developed throughout the year.

 

SJRC exams are less than 2 weeks away for Year 7-9 students. A portal of resources has been developed in SEQTA for SJRC students and parents/guardians to access in preparation for these upcoming exams. These include the:

  • Exam Schedules for Years 7-11
  • Exam Navigator contains all the requirements of the examination period
  • Study Timetable Template for students to populate 
  • Changes to the Semester 2 Examination period
  • Support material including videos detailing practical study skills
  • Victoria University and Melbourne University links

 

To access these resources, go to SEQTA College Weblinks and click on SJRC Exam Preparation.

 

CLC TUTORING 

A reminder the CLC is open to all students for FREE tutoring each Monday to Thursday afternoon. As upcoming exams approach, attending our College tutoring service can provide the extra support needed to boost confidence and improve understanding of key subjects. With personalised guidance from experienced tutors, students can focus on areas of difficulty, ask questions, and reinforce their knowledge. It is an excellent opportunity to enhance exam preparation, reduce stress, and achieve best results.
