These attributes are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of your child's development in key areas:

- Demonstrates organisational skills

We look forward to sharing this feedback with you and supporting your child's growth and success throughout their educational journey.

Years 10-12 Semester One Examination Timetables

Semester One Examinations will take place during Weeks 5 and 6 of Term Two (for Years 11 and 12) and during Week 8 for Year 10 students and are a crucial part of students' academic progress.

Exam Location and Timetables: The examinations will be held on Level 5 of our secondary campus, located at 10 William Street (CQU). Detailed examination timetables can be found below. Please ensure that students are aware of their exam schedule and arrive on time for each exam. If they are absent, they need to contact the school as early as possible and a medical certificate would be required for any absence during the exam period. 

Attendance Requirements: Years 10-12 students are only required to be present at school for their examinations in their full winter uniform. Outside of exam times, they are welcome to study from home, use facilities around the city, or access our Laurence Library on Level 2 for a quiet study space. They must be in school however right up to the first day of their examinations. 

Holiday Study Tips: We strongly recommend students take advantage of the upcoming holiday break to begin the foundation of their examination preparation. Some effective study methods include:

- Completing past papers under timed conditions to simulate the exam environment and gain familiarity with the question format.

- Marking their responses using grading keys, which will help identify areas for improvement and ensure that answers align with exam expectations.

- Writing comprehensive course notes that cover all relevant topics and key concepts.

- Dedicating time to memorising these notes to improve retention and recall during exams.

We wish all our students the best of luck their upcoming examinations and look forward to celebrating their achievements. . The Legendary Learners Hub for Year 11 and 12 students is an excellent starting point for all revision topics. 

Year 12 APEx Externally Set Task (EST) Timetable

We want to ensure that our Year 12 students are well-prepared and informed about the upcoming Externally Set Tasks (ESTs) scheduled during Weeks 4 and 5 of next term. The ESTs are a significant component of our students' academic journey as they account for 15 per cent of their final grade in each subject area. To ensure success, it is essential for our students to dedicate time and effort to prepare for these assessments.

Our academic staff have already started preparing students for the ESTs during regularly scheduled classes, focusing on key concepts and skills that will be assessed. Students are encouraged to review their material from Term One over the upcoming holiday break and to take advantage of revision opportunities offered early in Term Two. This will provide ample time to address any questions or concerns and to consolidate their understanding of the subject matter.

We have finalised the EST timetable and it can be found below. Students are advised to familiarise themselves with the schedule and plan their study time accordingly.
