The Class of 2021 are hastily coming to terms with the rigor of being in their final year of school and have settled in extremely well. All students should now have access to their course outlines and be very aware of task and assignment due dates. It is imperative to be familiar with the current Senior School Assessment Policy, please take the time to read through policy thoroughly, particularly the need for Medical Certificates to be presented if assessments, tests, exams or deadlines are missed.

Our Year 12 students are provided with some essential skills necessary to support them in achieving the best results possible, by workshops and seminars run during the year, pertaining to relevant WACE information, skills for productive study and preparation of a study plan that fits each individual, along with strategies for time and stress management.

Please be advised OLNA testing is happening in Term 1 and a number of our Year 12 students may be required to sit any of the three tests.  It is important to remember students will have to pass the OLNA in order to achieve their WACE. We have in place a number of support programs and specialist teachers to work with those students needing to pass the OLNA.

I would like to just remind everyone that this is one of the most demanding times of student’s lives, so as well as working to the best of their ability, it is essential to have a good life balance, including strategies to relieve the stress and pressure of senior schooling. It is worthwhile considering, it is particularly important to be both mentally and physically healthy to best cope with the demands of Year 12.
