From the Leader of Wellbeing - Year 12

Year 12 have commenced their final term of high school extremely well and are ready for the Trial HSC Examinations next week, starting with English on Monday morning. On behalf of the Year 12 students, I would like to sincerely thank the Year 12 teachers for all their hard work in preparing these students for the biggest assessment of their lives. 

There have been a number of extra study workshops held over the last four weeks to assist our students. I also know that many teachers have been responding to emails at all times of the day and night. Thank you also to Mrs Bradford and Mrs Thompson for creating a wonderful atmosphere of concentration in Study Hall and for the insightful exam preparation tips on the “HSC 2023 Study Hall” Google classroom.

A reminder to our students to look after themselves during the Trial Examination period. The big three of a balanced lifestyle are eating, sleeping and moving. I encourage students to create a routine around each of these areas of health and wellbeing over the next two weeks. Some of the best foods to support brain function are: fatty fish, leafy green vegetables, whole grain carbohydrates, berries and nuts. In terms of sleeping, a regular bedtime is important. Exercise helps to clear your mind as well as assisting brain function.

Please see below some photos of Year 12 students preparing for next week.

I wish Year 12 all the very best for the Trial HSC Exams.
