HSC Exam and Trial Exam Timetables
Year 12 students all have access to their personalised HSC examination timetable through NESA Students Online. Students must be aware of their exam dates and are asked to see me if there is a problem or they have any questions in regards to the timetable. Students need to see me if they cannot access Students Online.
Year 12 have received a final copy of the Trial HSC Exam timetable. As these exams start in Week 5 of next term, students should be starting to revise now and not leaving their revision until the last minute.

HSC Minimum Standard of Literacy and Numeracy
Minimum Standard tests for Year 10 occurred last week. Any students who do not meet the standards or missed a test, will have other opportunities this year and in 2021 and 2022 to sit these tests. Students will be notified of their results via email before the end of the term.
Year 11 and 12 students who still need to meet the standards have been emailed to advise them of their status. Catch up tests started last week and are continuing over the next two weeks.
Years 7-10 Semester 1 Assessment, Grades and Reports
A reminder that due to the disruption to learning this semester, students in Years 7–10 will not be expected to complete any further formal assessment tasks. Semester 1 reports will include a common grade and comments but no marks. Grades will be based upon any assessment tasks completed in Term 1 and other class work and informal tasks.
Parents can request, in writing, that their child's progress not be reported on using the common grade scale. In these cases, the student is not counted in the cohort and he/she must receive a written report in a form decided upon by the school.
Please contact Mr Lewis or me if you have any questions or concerns in regards to this.
