Year 12

HSC and IB Trial Examinations

Wishing the best of luck to all the Year 12 HSC and IB students as they embark on their Trial Examinations this week and next. It’s truly inspiring to witness the dedication and preparedness displayed by the entire Year 12 cohort, as they arrive for their exams fully equipped with the necessary materials and dressed in their full school uniform.

Moreover, it’s heartening to observe the diligence with which Year 12 has approached their studies, evident in the meticulously crafted study notes comprising flashcards, summative summaries, and highlighted texts—a testament to their commitment to do the best they possibly can in their exams.

Throughout the exam period, the central message conveyed to all Year 12 students has been to give their best effort, knowing that they have a supportive team of experts available to assist them should any challenges arise during the exams.

Recognising the significance of a well-rested and nourished mind, we encourage Year 12 to prioritise ample rest, quality sleep and nutritious meals during this intense period. A refreshed mind is essential for optimal focus and effective recovery between exams.

Moreover, we stress the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between academic pursuits and cocurricular commitments, be it in sports or any other extracurricular activities. A well-rounded approach to life during this time can contribute positively to overall well-being and performance.

In conclusion, we believe in the capabilities of each Year 12 student and wish them every success in their Trial Examinations. May they approach each test with confidence, knowing they have prepared diligently and have the full support of their school and loved ones. Go forth and shine!

HSC Design and Technology Showcase 

Well done to Ms Kathy Reid’s and Ms Natacha Brochard’s Design and Technology classes for their efforts at last Thursday afternoon’s HSC Design and Technology Showcase. The Year 12 HSC Design and Technology students used the showcase as an opportunity for feedback from parents and members of the public.
