From the
Leader of Learning
Mrs Lynne Slater
In 2024 Year 11 and 12 will be engaging in an academic mentoring program called THRIVE. It will include explicit teaching of literacy, summarisation strategies, memory techniques, NESA, ATAR and scholarship information, career guidance, guest speakers as well as strategies for positive wellbeing and mental health. In short it is dedicated to cultivating the skills needed for HSC success and beyond. The program will run on Tuesday afternoon during period 5 as both an in-school and at-home program.
Attached is the THRIVE schedule for Semester 1.
ASSESSMENT SCHEDULES 2024
Alongside various informal methods of monitoring student performance, formal assessments provide reliable and useful information about student learning. This data is used to monitor student achievement in relation to outcomes, guide future teaching and learning opportunities and provide ongoing feedback to students to improve learning. Students will receive a notification at least 2 weeks prior to a formal assessment task.
Following are the formal assessment dates for Years 7, 11 and 12.
