AFTERNOON STUDY CHANGES – TERM 3

From Term 3 onwards afternoon study will be held from 3.30-4.30 only on Wednesday of each week. We have found that very few students are requiring study assistance and possibly utilising:

• Google docs – and getting feedback on tasks as they go
• Greater class time – therefore their teachers can assist them more readily
• Using the ongoing assessment model means no huge assessment tasks all due at once

SUBJECT SELECTIONS 2020

THE LINES FOR Stage 5 have almost been finalised and were held up by the Year 11 lines, which are under progress. They should be released next week along with class lists via Compass. Students wishing to change will need to see me – if a change is possible I will do it then; otherwise they will be placed on the waitlist. Parents/caregivers will need to sign off on change requests. I appreciate the patience of all our students.

Year 11 lines should be available in Week 6.

HSC TRIAL EXAMINATIONS

Year 12 have started their exams well and have been calm and collected each day. A reminder to students to contact me directly for any issues during the exams so that I can provide the correct advice about what to do. A copy of the Illness/Misadventure form has been loaded onto the Year 12 Classroom page for ease. Every student must attempt all exams to meet the requirements of the internal assessment program.

ATOMI

Students in Year 11 and 12 have be trialling the use of ATOMI in Term 3. ATOMI provides short videos and quizzes aligned to the context of numerous Stage 6 course. I’ll be sending a feedback survey to both Year groups in week 8 this term.
