YEAR 12 HSC TRIAL EXAMS
Congratulations to our Year 12 students as they wrap up their Year 12 Trial Examinations today. Participating in the Year 12 trial exams provides students with valuable practice under exam conditions, helping them refine their time management, identify areas for improvement, gain valuable teacher feedback and build confidence ahead of the HSC. Well done Year 12 on your dedicated approach towards your exams and I would like to thank the Year 12 teachers in advance for the time and effort they will put in the feedback to allow the students to continue to grow before the HSC.
HSC commences on 16th October and concludes on 10th November. Students will have their personalised schedules available via their Schools Online account.
YEAR 10 SUBJECT SELECTIONS
Thank you to our Year 10 students and parents for a wonderful subject selection process. It was a pleasure to meet with you all, help develop your sons & daughters' patterns of study for Stage 6. As we proceed in the coming week, we will continue to interview the students who missed them and then subject selections will close on Friday 22nd August. This will then allow us to develop the lines for Year 11, 2026. If you require further information please do not hesitate to contact Mr Mergard or myself.
