Calling for Volunteer Supervisors – Support our Year 12 Students During their 2025 Trial Exams

We are currently seeking volunteer supervisors to support our Year 12 students as they prepare for and undertake their 2025 Trial Exams. These roles are vital in ensuring the smooth running of the exams and in helping to create a calm, supportive environment where students can perform at their best.

Trial Exams will take place from 4 August until 18 August.

If you, or someone you know, would like to make a meaningful contribution during this important time in our students' final year, we’d love to hear from you.

Conflict of Interest Guidelines:

To maintain fairness and integrity, please note the following restrictions for prospective supervisors:

• No close relatives of students sitting the HSC at this centre
• No current staff of the College
• No current tutors or coaches of Year 12 students from any school

Alumni and recent school graduates are welcome to return as supervisors (Minimum age: 18 years).
