Year 12 are just two weeks away from finishing their subject lessons and with a little over five weeks until the start of the written HSC exams, there is a lot happening.
Many of our Year 12 cohort have received early entry offers to university. Macquarie University, Australian Catholic University, Australian National University, University of Notre Dame and Western Sydney University have made offers to a number of our students for courses in Speech Pathology, Social Work, Law, Commerce, Sport and Exercise Science, Business and Psychology. The University of Wollongong early offers will be out at the beginning of next week and there are still the UAC Schools Recommendation Scheme offers to come in November. It is all very exciting for Year 12 and it is wonderful that they have been recognised as being ready for tertiary study.
Major Projects for Society and Culture, English Extension 2, Industrial Technology Timber, and Design and Technology have been submitted for marking. The Music 1 students completed their performance on Friday and the Visual Arts students are submitting their projects today.
We know the challenges that Year 12 students around NSW have faced in 2020. It is a testament to our Year 12 cohort that they have persevered, stayed positive and continued striving for their personal best. An example of this is the wonderful news we received earlier in the week regarding HSC Drama. Recently, the Drama students presented their individual performances for visiting HSC markers. Three students – Sasha M, Joseph S and Kayla S have all received ‘On Stage’ nominations. This is an amazing result and they should feel very proud of their achievements. Congratulations must also go to their teacher, Miss Chavura for her dedication and guidance.
