We have had the swimming carnival, school photos and the Year 12’s had a wonderful surprise with the earlier than expected arrival of their Leaver’s Jackets.

Please remember it is imperative for each Year 11 and 12 student to be aware of information gained during incursions/excursions and ensure all assessments and assignments are handed in, and on the due date. Students should be well into the habit of putting in every effort and using their study time to give themselves every possible opportunity for success.

I receive information from a number of companies advising that they are running school holiday classes for students wanting some extra assistance with subjects. As I become aware of these, I will place their websites in the News Review so you can see if they are something your students may want to do. The first two are;

www.academicgroup.com.au

www.mastermindaustralia.com.au

Next term we have some visits and presentations for our Year 11 and 12 students. These will be held on Friday morning Period 1 which is the Year 11 Meeting Period. I will advise the venue through Connect closer to the event.

Exam Week and Workplace Learning

Year 11 and 12 Semester 1 exams  will be held from June 3 to June 13 so this will be a very important time to start preparing for and the earlier you start the better off you will be.

“The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.” (Vince Lombardi)

For those students doing a General/VET Pathway, this is the time that you go out on Workplace Learning. Please come and see the VET Team to make sure that you are all signed up and ready to go for these dates. 

Year 12 EST (Externally Set Tasks)

All students enrolled in a General Year 12 course and/or a Foundation Year 12 course are required to complete the externally set task (EST) developed by the Authority for that course. The EST is compulsory and forms part of the school-based assessment and is included as a separate assessment type with a weighting of 15% for the pair of units.
