FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL

YEAR 12 2021

HSC exams draw to a close next week and many students have already finished. Well done on all you have and will continue to achieve and you are to be commended on the way in which you have kept going through it all. 

The ATAR’s will be released January 20 and the HSC results January 24. We don’t get the ATAR but always like to know how to work out our Dux but also to equate results with ATAR’s as the scaling can be a bit of a mystery. I’ll be emailing the students via the email I now have on Students Online to see if they are happy to let us know. It’s also great to know what they will be doing for 2022 and we are always available to help if they need anything further such as a recommendation. 

YEAR 12 2022

Well done to our new Year 12’s who are working their way through their first ;lot of assessments. Next Wednesday we will open afternoon study just for them during the usual time and several teachers have said they’ll be available. It’s also pleasing to see many are utilizing the drafting process and acting of feedback so they can do the best possible. Keep going - you will get a break soon!\

Please note that reports are now available through the Parent Portal on Compass. 

ELECTIVES

Elective changes - these are still possible - please come and see us. Remember you can also change right up to the end of week 3 Term 1 next year as well so if you wish to ‘try’ a subject first, that is sensible. 

FUTURE FOCUS - YEAR 10

Next week Year 10 students will take part in a Future Focus week. Mrs Parkman has put an enormous effort into this. On the first day we do need to complete the ‘All My Own Work;’ program which will take around an hour but is a NESA requirement for Year 11. If you don’t do it in Year 10, then we need to remove you from study in Year 11 to complete it. However it is fairly ‘painless’ and we will help you!

Looking forward to a great last few weeks of 2021.
