Please find below the timetable for testing days.  If your son is absent, make up sessions will be held on Monday 16 May, 2022.  If your son is not sitting NAPLAN he will meet in Room 402 during these testing times.

Students will receive an email tomorrow outlining all the equipment that they will need to bring.  Please note – for each test they must have a fully charged laptop.

If your son would like to explore the NAPLAN site further he is encouraged to use the Public demonstration site (nap.edu.au)

Learning from Home

If you are unable to attend school due to COVID-19 please access your classwork via the Moodle subject page and ensure you are revising for your upcoming exams.  If you are unsure of what work to complete or require further work or assistance, please contact your classroom teacher for further guidance.

Study Hall

Every Tuesday and Thursday morning the teacher librarians in the senior library offer study hall sessions from 7:45 am to 8:30 am. These are designed to build the student’s capacity to study independently by teaching them key skills for the first 15mins of the sessions and then offering independent supported study for the remainder of the time.

Please find below the outline for the Study Hall for Term 2.
