Trial HSC Examinations Term 3

Students should have a study timetable constructed for the holidays in order to prepare for the Trial HSC Examinations. Of course, it is important to have a balance of study and leisure.

Remember:

• Bring your student ID card - this should be placed on your desk
• You need to have correct equipment: clear pencil case/plastic sleeve, no writing on rulers or any pens etc
• Clear water bottle - no labels
• No smart watches
• No phones at all in jackets or on desks

If a student is ill during the examination period, they must follow the illness/misadventure process highlighted below. 

Preliminary HSC Examinations Holiday Preparation

It is important that Year 11 students have developed a study timetable over the holidays in preparation for their Preliminary Yearly Examinations. The final weeks of Year 11 will go fast and last minute preparation will be inadequate in order to demonstrate success. 

If a student is ill during the examination period, they must follow the illness/misadventure process highlighted below. 

   Misadventure/Illness Procedure

• Years 10 - 12 students have the Illness/Misadventure Policy highlighted on their their subject google site. The site has been shared with parents and students - if students and/or parents have not read the assessment booklet contained in the site, it is imperative that to do so. 

• • Ring the college on the morning when a task is due to inform office staff that the student is absent for an assessment task or is absent the day before an assessment task

• EVERY student must have accompanying documentation for example from a doctor’s certificate, highlighting why the student is absent. The documentation cannot be back dated and must include the day(s) of absence.
   
• The student must go to the office on the morning of their return to school to fill out the illness/midsadventure form AND attach the supporting documentation
  
  
• The student must submit the task if they have not done so. If the assessment was an in class test or examination, the student must see the Leader of Learning of that subject to arrange the next steps BEFORE the end of recess. 
  
  
• Late illness/misdaventure applications or applications without appropriate supporting documentation, will not be accepted. 

• • If a student was absent for the Trial HSC Examination or Preliminary Yearly Examination, they will be required to sit for the missed examination at their next available exam time slot where they do not have an examination scheduled.
