Examination Letter and HSC and IB Examination Timetables can be found here. 

As examinations are underway, please note a few key reminders for students as shared with them through Mr Taylor and Mrs Benjamin:

  • All students should be on Level 4 of the Learning Hub at least 15 minutes prior to the start of their examination
  • Students should be in full Winter School Uniform (no sport kits, even on a Thursday)
  • Students may bring a clear pencil case and a clear water bottle into the examination room with them
  • If students are sick or cannot attend an examination, please note the following message sent to all parents and carers in the IB and HSC Examination letter

If your son or daughter is unwell and cannot attend a Yearly Examination, please alert the school via email to aynson@redlands.nsw.edu.au, the relevant Dean of IB or HSC and ssabsence@redlands.nsw.edu.au. We will require a medical certificate or NSW Health proof of Covid-19 status upon return, after which the student will receive a schedule to undertake any missed examinations.


Early Entry Explained

Early Entry University applications do not open for Yr 12 2024 until next year. How you apply to early entry will be explained to you in Term 1 Yr 12. 

Early entry programs provide another option for getting an offer to university. Many of the programs will give you an offer in August, September, or October 2024,  before your final Yr 12 exams start. They do this by looking at your Year 11 grades. In most cases the university will look at your Yr 11 Semester 2 report grades to assess you.

Not all universities have early entry options and most of our students apply for University courses based on their final ATAR/IB results at the end of Yr 12 as well as early entry.

 

Yr 11 HSC Drama Showcase

Our Yr 11 HSC Drama Showcase Performance evening is taking place on Friday the 8 of September at 6:30pm in the Drama Studio. The students will be performing a range of performances from units they have studied this year, dramatic forms and styles.

A big thank you to the Yr 11 HSC Drama teachers, Marita Jansons and Stacey Whitmore, for all their efforts and hard work on the Yr 11 HSC Drama Class and, in addition, to Marita Jansons for organising the Showcase Performance evening.
