Literacy Week Writing Competition

As a part of Literacy Week celebrations, students from Years 7 to 12 are invited to submit a piece of writing no longer than four hundred words that responds to the prompt:

‘What makes you, YOU?’

Entries are to be submitted at the English stall at the youth summit on Tuesday 19 September.

Exam Preparation - Year Twelve Students

By the end of Week 9, all Year 12 students will have completed their internal coursework. From here, exam preparation becomes the focus.  With this in mind, a practice examination has been set that will take place on September 7, in the School Hall during the 3 Way Conference Day.

This exam will be sent to an experienced VCAA assessor who will provide a score out of ten and some brief feedback for students.

Please be aware that some students still need to make payment $10 for this through the School Office.

Writing Folio - Semester 2 Progress

With there only two weeks remaining of this term, it may be timely to have a conversation with your son or daughter about their progress with the writing folio program for this semester.

Students from Years 7 to 9 are to complete a set amount of ‘polished pieces’ by the end of the year, so the end of Term 3 is a great chance to ensure that students are on track to meet this goal.
