Year 12 HSC Examinations
Year 12 have commenced their HSC Examinations this week. Students have been very positive and the examinations have been smooth.
Whilst the examination period occurs over 4 weeks, students are encouraged to sustain their study pattern, particularly when some of their friends may complete all their examinations before them.
We are praying for you Year 12 during this time. Stay positive!
Year 12 2021 Commences Week 3
Year 12 2021 will commence their HSC year of study, Monday Week 3 Term 4. Students will receive their NESA HSC guidelines and procedures book, access to their assessment site and any other relevant information on Monday. Following the meeting with our new Year 12, parents and carers will be given access to the Year 12 2021 Information Site.
Students and parents should read the site very carefully, so that expectations, requirements and procedures are fully understood and adhered to during Year 12.
Should any student or parent have any questions, please refer them to appropriate staff member via email which are located on the front page of the Year 12 2021 Information site.
Year 12 Assessments Term 4 2020
Year 10 and 11 RoSA Grades 2021
Year 10 and 11 students will receive a RoSA at the conclusion of the Year, highlighting grades for every subject against the common grade scale. The RoSA is a valuable document to download and place with the students CV/portfolio.
The common grade scale does NOT just reflect student assessment. It is in fact a representation of all aspects of a students achievement, application and dedication to each subject.
Therefore students should note that they can influence their RoSA grades at any time, because everything in a course contributes to the RoSA grade.
Make a Difference to Your Achievement in Term 4
Term 4, for most students, is a great time as they complete the current study year and get ready to progress into the next Year level. Therefore Term 4 is actually a highly significant Term for students in their learning as Term 4 provides a great opportunity for students to apply feedback from final assessments and focus on setting themself up for the best year of learning they have had in the following year.
Term 4 should therefore be considered as preparation for their next Year level. Preparation could include revising work completed over the year and ensuring you seek advice from teachers about areas you would like to improve in.
The Christmas holidays is a long break, therefore spend the time in Term 4 to set yourself up for success in 2021!
