Year 10 Exam Block – Monday 10th – Wednesday 12th June
This Term, Year 10 students will participate in their first Exam Block.
During an Exam Block, students are only required to attend school for their scheduled exams. Students will receive a personalised exam timetable indicating the subjects, times and locations of their exams.
- Students who are unable to be collected from school or walk home safely at the conclusion of exams will be supervised in a Study Room within the College Library.
- Students are expected to be in full school uniform when attending school.
- When required for a scheduled exam session, students must remain in the designated exam room for the entire scheduled session with their teacher.
- Any VET students with outstanding modules of work will be required to attend VET catch up sessions during the exam block. Students will be required to attend these sessions until all required work is completed.
Year 10 Work Experience – Monday 17th – Friday 21st June
All Year 10 students are expected to engage in the Work Experience program. Mrs Marney George (Industry Liaison Officer) has organised placements for all Year 10 students in line with the preferences that were submitted in early Term 1.
Students have started receiving the paperwork for their placements. These need to be signed by the student and a parent/guardian and returned to Mrs George in the Careers Hub as soon as possible please.
Students are expected to make contact with their Work Experience business/supervisor prior to their commencement to confirm:
- Dress standard required
- Start and Finish times
If students are unable to participate due to illness, they should advise both the Work Experience employer and the school of their absence.
The last day of formal schooling for Year 10 students in Term 2 is Friday 7th June.
