Exam Information and More!
As we draw closer to the end of Term 2 it is down to business for the Senior Years students. Both Year 10 and Year 11 students will be starting their exams next week, while the Year 12s will be sitting the GAT Exams in Week 8.
In preparation for exams, and to develop other important study skills, both the Year 10s and Year 11s have been visited by Elevate Education this week. The team from Elevate Education took students through two different study seminars. The Year 10s engaged with a “Study Sensei” seminar which talked about study habits, and tips on how to approach learning in a positive manner. Year 11s focused on “Time Management” strategies in their seminar. Feedback from students was very positive:
Year 12 students will have their own study skill session next week with a focus on exam performance.
Elevate Education also provide free parent seminars which are accessible via online platforms. Parents are invited to sign up to these seminars. Details are available to parents via the following link or check on Schoolbox:

VCE students around Victoria will be taking the General Achievement Test (GAT) on Thursday 15 June. Every student doing Unit 3 and Unit 4 is expected to sit the GAT, as it is an essential component of the VCE.
Although the GAT does not require studying, it involves preparation. Students will be tested on Literacy and Numeracy. The GAT is divided into two sessions, and both involve Reading, Writing and Numeracy. The morning session runs from 9.00 – 11.45am and the afternoon session runs from 1.15 - 3.00pm. It is important that students arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time.
We wish you all the best… be calm and be awesome!!
