Week 6 sees the commencement to our formal Semester Examination period.

Stage 5 Semester Examination

Students in Years 9 and 10 have begun their semester examinations for a number of their courses.  Examinations have been staggered to minimise the stress with only a few having to complete two examinations in one day. 

Students are reminded to use their time outside of school and the long weekend to revise their notes and complete practice examination questions.  Preparation for the examinations will help to reduce the stress that your child(ren) may experience.  I would also encourage students to ensure they take the time to connect with family and friends, and be active by getting outside and enjoying some exercise.

Remaining Stage 5 exams in Week 7 for Years 9 and 10:

Parents are reminded, if your child is ill on the day of an assessment task, an assessment variation form, and supporting documents (Year 10 only), is required on return to school.

Year 8 Religion Literacy

On Monday 23 June (week 9) Year 8 will complete their Religion Literacy exam.  The test was conducted by each of the schools in the diocese to encourage students to meet the minimum required standards of Catholic knowledge and understanding in much the same way that NAPLAN tests for standards in English and Mathematics. It also forms part of the Year 8 school-based assessment and reporting.  Students will require a laptop for this examination

My thanks to Mr Brendan Neeson (Leader of Learning – Religious Studies) for his organisation. 

Semester Awards Assembly

Save the date: On Thursday 3 July we will celebrate Academic Achievement and Diligence of our students at the Semester One Awards Assembly.  Families of students receiving awards will receive notification later in the term.  We look forward to celebrating our students successes with our community.
