Save the Date

Friday 29 January 2021

  • HSC High Achievers’ Assembly – 9.00am
  • Years 7 – 10 Awards Evening – 6.30pm

These will take place in the Brother Luke Hall

 

 

Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT) Testing

In Week 6, students completed Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT) in Reading and Mathematics. We would like to thank all students in Years 7 – 9 for their participation and effort in completing these online tests.

 

These tests provide the school with valuable data to provide interventions and enrichment for students. They enable teachers to tailor lessons to develop specific skills and to differentiate within their classes. They also allow us to track student growth in specific skills across years. Literacy and numeracy skills are essential for student success at school and in future careers and our PAT testing are a tool that will help us to continue improving students’ skills in these areas. 

 

 

Congratulations!

Congratulations to all our Year 7 – 10 students who have now finished their Semester 2 Examinations. Teachers are now in the process of marking and reporting on students. Reports will be issued on Wednesday 16 December.

 

 

HSC Results Morning

On Friday 18 December, HSC Students around the state will receive their HSC and ATAR results. The College will hold a breakfast for our students to come together and share their achievements. All HSC 2020 students are welcome to attend.
