YEAR 11 EXAMINATIONS
Well done Year 11 on a smooth examination period. Your behaviour has been excellent and the way which you approached each exam impressive.
Next term you will start to get some feedback – it’s really important that you work out what you do well and what you need to improve.
Remember that all tasks are an opportunity for learning and we learn and get better from our mistakes.
The transition to Year 12 will start in Week 2 and it is after this point you will be able to discontinue subjects and change the level of your class in SOR, English and Maths. Maths Extension 2 and History Extension 2 will also start from Week 2 onwards.
We have been busily visiting classrooms, especially Year 7 over the past week and are pleased with all the wonderful things they are doing in class. It’s also lovely to be invited to come and watch speeches or to see the final products of tasks they are working on
What a term it has been - have a wonderful and relaxing holiday.
