Year 12 Trial exams are almost over now. When students receive their marked papers back, they should carefully go through them and take note of topics they did well in as well as topics they did not perform so well in. This is a good way to judge where they need to spend their revision time in the lead up to the main event.
The information below is from NESA and outlines all the precautions and guidelines for COVID-19 during the HSC exams. Please read them carefully so that we keep everyone safe.
This year’s HSC is different due to COVID-19. Information is available on the NESA website to clearly answer parents’ questions about the HSC exams.
The health and wellbeing of HSC students is more important than any exam, which is why we are encouraging students to:
- Stay connected
- Take time out for rest or exercise
- Ask for help.
Find posters and social media tiles to help your students to stay healthy.
Year 11 exams start in two weeks. Students should be completing unit summaries and discussing concerns with their classroom teachers in the lead up to the exams. Attempting past exams under exam conditions is one of the best ways to see how you are progressing.
Our first round of Zoom Parent-Teacher meetings went very well from the staff perspective. We will survey parents when all three sessions have been completed to see how you found the process. If you have concerns about the progress of your child, please make contact with the teacher at your earliest convenience so that issues can be addressed.
