Senior School Exams

Semester One examinations are a key milestone in student academic progress and will take place on the following dates:

• Years 11 & 12: Weeks 5 and 6
• Year 10: Week 7

Exam Venue: All examinations will be held on Level 5 of our secondary campus at 10 William Street.

Timetables: Detailed timetables have been made available and can be accessed below. Please ensure students are aware of their schedule and arrive on time for each examination.

Absences: If a student is unable to attend an exam, the school must be notified as early as possible, and a medical certificate is required for any missed formal assessments such as exams. Please notify student reception at your earliest convenience in the event of non attendance.

Attendance Requirements: Students in Years 10–12 are only required to attend school for their scheduled examinations and must wear full winter uniform. Outside of their exams, students may choose to:

• Study from home
• Utilise facilities around the city
• Access the Laurence Library (Level 2) for a quiet, focused environment

Students are expected to attend school as normal until their first scheduled exam.
