Year 12
HSC and IB Trial Exams
Kudos to the entire Yr 12 cohort for exemplifying remarkable self-discipline and unwavering resilience throughout this challenging trial exam phase. Despite the heightened stress that often accompanies such periods, the collective determination of Yr 12 has shone brightly as each student conscientiously participated in and tackled their exams to the best of their abilities.
As we approach the conclusion of this trial assessment period, it’s a friendly yet essential reminder to our Yr 12 students to conscientiously prioritise their self-care for the remaining six weeks of this academic year. With just one more day remaining, the finish line is in sight, and nurturing your wellbeing will undoubtedly bolster your journey.
In the forthcoming weeks, students will receive their exam results and the accompanying feedback from our dedicated Yr 12 educators. I urge each student to dedicate the necessary time to meticulously review and absorb the thoughtful insights provided by your teachers, who have taken considerable care in crafting this feedback. Your proactive engagement with this information will undoubtedly contribute to your continued growth and success.
