Curriculum News

Our students are actively working towards improving their knowledge and skills, making the most of current assessment and feedback opportunities. Current events in Curriculum include: 

Year 12 Post-Trial Examination Focus

Year 12 students have recently completed their HSC Trial Examinations, and while this marks a significant milestone, the importance of continued attendance in lessons cannot be overstated. The period following the Trial Examinations is crucial for several reasons:

  • Valuable Feedback: Teachers will be providing detailed feedback on Trial Examination performance. This feedback is essential for identifying areas of strength and those requiring further focus. Attending lessons ensures students fully benefit from this guidance.

  • Completion of Course Content: Some courses are still finalising their content. These final lessons may cover critical topics or refine students' understanding, providing them with a more comprehensive knowledge base for the HSC exams.

  • Focused Revision: Structured revision sessions in class allow students to consolidate their learning, clarify doubts, and engage in targeted practice under the guidance of their teachers. This structured approach is invaluable in the lead-up to the final exams.

Year 10 Examinations

This week, our Year 10 students undertook their exams, and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all students for their exemplary behaviour and diligence during this time. Your commitment to your studies is commendable. I would also like to thank parents and carers for their support of Year 10 students throughout this week. Your encouragement and assistance have played a significant role in helping our students prepare and perform their best.

Preliminary Examinations (Year 11)

Next week marks the beginning of the Preliminary Examinations for our Year 11 students, which will run for two weeks. During this period, Year 11 students are only required to be onsite during their scheduled exams.

Please note the following expectations:

  • Students should arrive at the examination venue at least 30 minutes before the commencement of each exam to ensure they are settled and ready.
  • While students have the option to remain at the College before, between, or after exams for study purposes, it is highly recommended that they prioritise independent study at home. A well-organised study space can provide the focused environment needed to maximise their preparation.

We wish all our Year 11 students the very best in their upcoming examinations. 

Mrs. Carolyn Said

Acting Curriculum Coordinator
