EXAMINATIONS / ASSESSMENTS
Exams play an important role in our assessment program. Year 9s will undertake an exam in English and Maths at the end of the year, while Year 10s will do end-of-semester exams in English, Mathematics, Science & History/Geography. Year 11s have end-of-unit exams for all subjects, taking place in June and November.
Approximately 4 weeks prior to the exam period, students and staff will be notified of the dates/times of individual exams.
