We are seeking volunteers to assist with supervision of our internal Years 9 - 11Nossal High School exams and the Year 12 (Unit 3&4) English practice exam. The Year 12 (Unit 3&4) English practice exam will be held on Friday 15 September (8.30am – 12.30pm). All other Years 9 - 11Nossal exams will run from Friday 10 November to Friday 17 November 2023.
If you could spare a morning/afternoon/day throughout this period, this would be greatly appreciated. All that is required is a current Working with Children’s Check or if you don’t already have a WWCC you can complete the online registration for the accreditation at https://service.vic.gov.au/services/working-with-children Working with Children Check Cards are free for volunteers.
What do volunteer supervisors do?
work with the coordinating teacher to supervise exams to ensure that students comply with exam requirements.
walk around the rows of students sitting exams.
assist students with questions and escort them to the toilet.
collect papers at the end of the exam.
New volunteers will have the opportunity to attend a one-hour training/information session to familiarise themselves with the exam process and to ask any questions they may have. This training/information session will be confirmed early in Term 4.
