Semester 2 Exams

Tuesday 28 October sees the commencement of the Unit 3/4 VCE Exams at St Bede’s College, with the English Exam commencing at 9.00 am. This is the start of a significant period in student assessment as Years 9, 10 and 11 commence their exams in the following weeks as well. 

As a College, we continue to work towards preparing the students as best we can in the classroom, encouraging students to start their study as soon as possible. As a school, we acknowledge the enormous amount of support you provide as parents and carers; exams often present as a time of stress, and understandably so. Keeping students as calm as possible, ensuring they get adequate sleep, are well fed and are balancing other factors such as sport and work will help them to navigate the exam period and achieve their personal best. We are here to help too, so if you have any concerns or require support, please reach out to a teacher, Co-ordinator or College Leader.
