Dear Parents and Caregivers

Our Year 12 students need to be congratulated on how well they have managed the Mock Exam Block experience for themselves. They will again be reminded that the Mock Exams are an opportunity to gauge where they are at in terms of their final preparation with the end-of-year External Assessments in Term 4. This upcoming timeline will allow both the students and their teachers to review and fine-tune where the Mock exams have indicated a further focus is required. Good luck to our Year 11 students as they get ready for their Exam Block which takes place next week.
