Volunteers - HSC Exams
There are a small number of students who have approval to use a reader or writer for their HSC exams.
We require some volunteers who are proficient in reading and writing to assist these students.
There are some simple guidelines that need to be adhered to and the time required is usually about 2-3 hours.
If you are able to assist please contact Mrs Amanda Bruce-Goodlet, brucegoodleta@ww.catholic.edu.au or the College Office.
