Exams have started
As the school is aware the external VCE exams run by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) began a week ago with English. Mr Stokes and I would like to pass on the comments from the team of supervisors running these exams. They would like to commend our students for being on time to exams, polite and cooperative, positive and focused on their work and using the exam time as effectively as possible. Hopefully this approach, along with the many hours of preparation they have put into their revision, will pay off with solid exam results and good study scores.
The Year 11 VCE students begin their exams next week (November 14 to 18) and these results will help to feed into their course selections for 2023. Please note because the Year 12 exams continue in the Performing Arts Centre (PAC) the Year 11 exams this year will be held in the Library. Year 9 and 10 will also have exams beginning on the November 21 until the November 25, and these will be held in the PAC. Students should be using homework time over the next few weeks and begin their preparation and revision.
2023 VCE Start Program
This year we will continue with the introductory program for students moving into their 2023 VCE subjects. Both Year 11 students moving into Year 12, and Year 10 students moving into Year 11 will be involved in these classes for two weeks after their exams are completed. They will be given a timetable of these classes next week.The aim of this program is to introduce students to the course material and requirements of the subject next year, as well as get to know their new teachers. The students will complete some initial assessment work and will be given homework that must be completed before the start of classes next year. Attendance at these classes will be checked at their promotion interviews in the week beginning December 5.
