YEAR 11 NEWS

Year 11 Yearly Examinations

The Year 11 end of course examinations are scheduled for Weeks 9 and 10 this term, this is Monday 15th to Friday 26th September. Examination timetables have been issued to students, emailed to parents and uploaded to the Year 11 Google Classroom. Spare copies are available at the front office if students need to collect one.

All students are required to attend all their scheduled examinations as per the timetable. If a student is unable to present for the examination the school should be notified as soon as possible and they will require documentation, such as a medical certificate that states why they are not able to attend the exam on that day (and the medical certificate needs to be dated on the day of the examination).

Term 4

Students will return for the start of Term 4 in their Year 11 classes. Exams will be returned, feedback will be provided, and courses finalised. In Week 3, classes will commence Year 12 coursework. This will mark the start of students studying their HSC (Year 12) courses and the start of their HSC Assessment program.

Course changes

Students looking to change courses will need to complete a yellow Change Request Form available from the front office. All change requests will be checked against NESA HSC requirements, and ATAR requirements if applicable. Changes will only be granted on a case-by-case basis and only for students electing to study:

· a permitted Extension course (English Extension 2, Mathematics Extension 2, Science Extension and History Extension)

· movement between English courses (Advanced to Standard or Standard to Studies)

· movement between Mathematics courses (Advanced to Standard 2 or Standard 2 to Standard 1)

· move from an existing Science course (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) to Investigating Science

No student will be permitted to drop a course at this stage, so will need to continue with their 12 units of study (or 13 if they have elected to pick up an extension course). If students and parents feel there is a compelling wellbeing reason to drop a course, a request may be made, and a meeting may be arranged to discuss the potential change.
