Ensure you are meeting the requirements of all Week 9 and 10 Assessments.
Remember that the Curriculum Office is open to all students if you have any queries regarding procedures and processes linked to assessments. Please consult the College Assessment website, accessible via Compass under School Favourites to check dates, assessment policies and procedures.
A reminder that Year 11 students must successfully complete over 50% of in school assessments to be eligible to continue studying the HSC course of each of their subjects.

Year 10
A reminder for parents and carers to complete the last page of the booklet, which needs to be returned to the College in Week 9 for safe keeping, ready for the Round Table Conferences in Term 3.
Students will be presented with their ‘Curriculum Guide to Stage 6’ packs on Wednesday 25 June. They will also be given access to a website that has been designed to support families learn more about Stage 6 course options and the different pathways of study available. Please refer to the timeline below and the information in the packs.
Years 7 – 9
All students should be receiving feedback regarding their learning this semester. It is important for students to now re-evaluate Semester 1 goals and determine what they want to achieve in regard to their learning in Semester 2, and which strategies for improvement need to be implemented.
I encourage parents to ask these questions of their children;
- What are you learning? Why?
- How are you doing?
- How do you know?
- How can you improve?
- Where can you go for help?
General Reminders
It is timely that we remind students not to come to school if they are sick even if they have an assessment. It is important students are well and thinking clearly if they are to perform their best in all learning activities.
Variation of Assessment forms (VOA) are required for students in Years 10, 11 and 12 if they miss an assessment. Please refer to the appropriate policy on the Assessment Website for timeframe and evidence requirements.
