Year 12

The Trial Examination period has ended, and students are back in class ready to continue their HSC preparation. Our students are to be congratulated regarding how organised they have been in their approach to the HSC Trial examination period and meeting Term 3 deadlines.

Well done!

HSC examinations and marking have begun with the first Language Oral exams taking place on Saturday 16 August. HSC Markers will be on the College premises over the coming weeks to mark Year 12 Major Works from Industrial Technology, and the performances of Drama and Music students. A very exciting time for these students and the staff who have supported them. Please pray for them.

This is a vital time for our Year 12s as they receive feedback on their HSC Trial examination responses, and plan what they need to do next to improve. We do understand that it may be difficult to maintain momentum at this time, but you can be certain that we are here to support students as they continue to improve their knowledge and understanding, and skill set across all courses.  We encourage all students to keep communicating with their teachers so they can work together and make the most of the next 5 weeks of class time.

We remind students of the following;

• Attend all classes as per your timetable
• Work with the feedback your teachers have provided
• Keep up to date with NESA Advice via the following link. NESA student guide
• Access the Stay Healthy HSC hub  - stay active and keep connected during the HSC with resources brought to you by the NSW Education Department and Reach Out.

Year 11

Preliminary Examination Block

A reminder that the Year 11 Final Examination period starts on Wednesday 3 September and finishes Friday 12 September.

Students will not be attending timetabled classes during this time.

Now that returning students have submitted their preferences for 2026, it is time for parents and students to make an appointment for a Round Table Discussion on Wednesday 10 September. Students have been given a google form to complete via their Curriculum Matters Google classroom so that they can nominate an appointment time to finalise their courses and discuss the Stage 6 requirements at SJPC. Emails have been sent to parents and carers of returning students to remind them of this part of the process.

Looking forward to having this discussion with you and your child on 10 September 2025.

A Reminder for all Year Groups

Information about the units of work your child is studying and the assessment policies and schedules for each year group can be found on the Assessment and Curriculum Website. This can be easily accessed via Compass, under School Favourites / Assessment.
