Year 11 Assessment Block

The Year 11 Assessment Block will commence on Monday 1 May with English Standard and Advanced assessments in the morning and will conclude on Wednesday 10 May with Modern History. The assessments are quite varied in type, structure and format and include but are not limited to written responses to pre-published stimulus materials, oral presentations, and practical examinations.

Parents, carers and students of Year 11 are reminded, that in the event of absenteeism due to illness or misadventure during the Assessment Block, to contact the Year Coordinator, Mr Herro, on the morning of the assessment. Where possible, the missed assessment or a substitute will be arranged within the Assessment Block period. On the student’s return to school, a medical certificate for the illness/misadventure must be given to Mr Herro and the relevant Head of Faculty.

It is the College’s expectation that all senior students conduct themselves in an exemplary and serious manner during the Assessment Block. Year 11 students are reminded to consult the document Assessment/Examination Block Rules for Senior Students on the Year 11 CANVAS page as any breach of the rules may incur a zero mark being awarded for the associated assessment.
