Year 12 journey is complete

We are thrilled to congratulate our Year 12 ATAR students who have now completed their WACE written examinations. Over the past 13 days, our graduates have sat 20 exams, across more than 60 hours, demonstrating dedication, resilience and commitment.

We are incredibly proud of our students and all they have achieved. This is a moment to celebrate, reflect and rest. WACE results will be available from Friday 19 December via the SCSA student portal.

Until then, relax, recharge and enjoy this well-earned break.  We encourage our students to share their results with us here at the school as school-based access to ATAR results is not available until 21 December and we will be excited to hear your results.

Year 10 & 11 exams – all done!

Well done to all Year 10 and 11 students for completing their exams this week. It was fantastic to see so many students embrace the experience of sitting formal assessments in our Murray Street Examination Centre, a significant step in preparing for the rigours of Year 12 studies.

We commend the hours of study, revision, and deep thinking that led to this moment. You should be proud of your efforts and progress.

Murdoch FlexiTrack High – applications open for 2026

We are excited to announce that applications are now open for the 2026 Murdoch FlexiTrack High program - an exceptional opportunity for current Year 11 students who are exploring an alternative pathway into university.

FlexiTrack allows students to substitute one Year 12 course with the FlexiTrack unit. Upon successful completion, students are awarded the equivalent of a 70.00 ATAR, enabling direct entry into undergraduate degrees at Murdoch University.

Eligibility Requirements: D grade or higher in Year 11 ATAR English (Semester 1) or B grade or higher in APEx English (Semester 1)

Students will receive more details during the Transition to Year 12 Week and are encouraged to speak with Mrs Tagore for guidance and advice. 

Apply online before 15 December, 2025: Murdoch FlexiTrack High Application Form  

Late applications will not be accepted by Murdoch University and so all students must apply with Mrs Tagore’s approval by 15/12/25. 

Next up – Festival of Learning

As we move into the final weeks of Term Four, we are excited to offer students something unique: the Festival of Learning during Weeks 8 and 9.

This event is all about curiosity, creativity and connection - an opportunity to explore learning in new and exciting ways. Students will engage in rich, authentic activities that stretch across learning areas and beyond the standard curriculum. Our passionate teachers have planned a fantastic range of experiences designed to inspire and challenge.

A gentle reminder to all students:

• The learning does not stop when the exams do.
• Stay engaged, stay curious, and finish the year strong.

As always, thank you to our students, families and staff for your energy, support, and commitment throughout this term. Let us carry this positive momentum right through to the end of the school year!
