Year 12 students

Exam Preparation

By the end of Week 8, all Year 12 students will have completed their internal coursework. From here, exam preparation becomes the focus. With this in mind, a practice examination has been set that will take place on Thursday 15 September in the School Hall during the 3 Way Conferences day.

This exam will be sent to an experienced VCAA assessor who will provide a score out of ten and some brief feedback for students. Please be aware that some students still need to make payment for this through compass.

Students will also be encouraged to involve themselves in the Study Break English classes. These will take place across the first three days of the Term 3 study break with each session focused on a section of the 2015 exam.

The sessions have been designed to be engaging and direct in their purpose, with an aim to have students feeling more comfortable about the exam experience that they are preparing for.

Writing Folio

Second Semester Progress

With only two weeks remaining of this term, it may be timely to have a conversation with your son or daughter about their progress with the writing folio program for this semester.

Students from Years 7 to 9 are to complete a set amount of ‘polished pieces’ by the end of the year.  So, Term 3 is a great chance to ensure that students are on track to meet this goal.
