FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL

Year 12 HSC examinations

These are now on Compass for students but every student should log into Students Online to ensure their personal details are correct and to change their email to a private one. 

Subject Selections Update

Year 11 2023 - The lines have been released and I have met with most of the Year 10 students to sort out their Maths and English classes. They may also request changes at this time. 

Stage 5 2023 - Students may still request changes. 

Year 11 End of Course Examinations

The Year 11 End of Course examinations will take place between Thursday 15th-Thursday 22nd September. The exam timetable is now final. 

Students will be able to alter the subjects from Week 2 in Term 4 but they should ensure they do their best in these upcoming examinations so they can make an informed decision.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF STUDIES

NAPLAN results have been posted home to the families of students in Years 7 and 9. This year's results demonstrate the growth and development of our students’ literacy and numeracy skills. It is important to keep in mind that NAPLAN results are merely a snapshot of the skills and abilities that each student demonstrated on the day of each NAPLAN test. We are pleased with the effort and application of our students, particularly given the context of the last two years of educational disruption. Therefore, for some, just sitting the tests can be regarded as an achievement. NAPLAN results are not a definitive indicator of future success, either. To gauge success, students and families should look at a broader range of data such as subjects not tested by NAPLAN and extracurricular activities. That being said, a number of students should be congratulated for achieving pleasing results and demonstrating growth above the expected rate, albeit compared to NAPLAN from four years ago.
