YEAR 12 EXAM PREPARATION

Good luck to our Year 12 students as they prepare for their final exams. These students have worked incredibly hard throughout the year to prepare for these assessments that make up a key part of their final VCE results:

• English and EAL: Wednesday 26 October, 9AM
• Literature: Thursday 10 November, 11:45AM

It’s not too late to make improvements. For some final tips on how to prepare for the exam, students and families might like to review this article from The Age.
