Progressive Achievement Tests – Spelling

In Week 7, Years 7 to 10 students will complete their Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT) in Spelling. The PAT Spelling test is a standardised assessment that helps track students' development over time and identify areas needing support.  

Year 9 – Monday 1 September, Period 3

Year 7 – Wednesday 3 September, Period 1

Year 8 – Thursday 4 September, Period 1

Year 10 – Friday 5 September, Period 2

The PAT spelling assessment is a 20-minute test that:  

• assesses knowledge of spelling and skills in identifying and correcting spelling errors.
• asks students to correct spelling errors in a written sentence.
• contains multiple-choice questions and typing of correct spelling.

All PAT spelling tests will be held in B-block, and students will complete the test on their own device.

Year 11 Examinations

The Year 11 Examinations will be held in Weeks 8 and 9. Students should prepare for their examinations by revising the year's work and other study material set by their class teacher. If students have questions regarding their exams, they are encouraged to talk to their class teachers. Good luck with your preparation, Year 11.
