Year 12

We are at the halfway point of Term 3 and it has been a very busy time for our Year 12 students. 

The Trial HSC Exams concluded last Monday. Over eleven days, thirty-three courses were examined. It was a real test for our students in terms of effort, perseverance and commitment. Well done to all of the Year 12 students for their efforts over the examination period.

The Year 12 teachers are now diligently marking, writing feedback and preparing final report comments for this wonderful group of students.  

Term 3 is also the time for students completing subjects with major projects and performances to submit and present their work to NESA for marking. Already, the Society and Culture projects have been sent to NESA. Next week, Drama students will be marked on their performances by the HSC markers. Extension English 2 projects are due soon, as are the Design and Technology and Visual Arts projects. Music compositions and performances won’t be far behind. Well done to all of the students and staff who are involved with these projects and performances. It really is an amazing effort to complete a major work for the HSC.

We also have two students who are studying a language via NSW School of Languages and Saturday School of Community Languages. Over the last two Saturdays they have been completing their HSC Speaking Exam in front of the HSC markers. 

Finally, many of our Year 12 students are eagerly awaiting early entry offers for 2024 university placements. It’s an exciting time for them, and it is the very best part of my job when I hear about their plans for life after school. I am sure that you will join me in praying for them over the coming months as they prepare for their HSC examinations and make decisions about their future pathways. 

Year 11

In the coming weeks, Year 11 will begin wrapping up their preliminary studies. They will then complete their Final Examinations in Weeks 9 and 10. This will be a busy time for them and a chance for students to demonstrate their understanding of subject content in a formal examination. Year 11, we are praying for you and know you will do your best. 

Years 8 and 10 

Year 8 and 10 students have recently submitted their elective/subject choices for 2024. Students will be excited to know that I will be in contact with them soon about their subject allocations for next year.
