As we approach the end of this term, we are heading into a busy assessment period for all our students. It is important that students continue to work diligently until the last day of school to finish the year on a positive note.

Assessment schedule for Years 7 – 10 for remaining assessments:

Our year 11 students have already completed all the assessment tasks for this year and have now started with unit 3 content. The content covered during this term will prepare students for 1^st internal assessment (IA1) in term 1, 2024 that will count towards their ATAR. IA1 is a problem solving and modelling task and makes up 20% of their final mark in General Maths and Mathematical Methods. Mathematics department is looking forward to preparing our first cohort of year 12 students next year to achieve their absolute best in mathematics and post school pathways.

General Notices:

• All students should be prepared for class, every lesson by bringing a scientific calculator, notebook, stationary and a charged laptop. Please support your child to be prepared for learning to ensure we can maximise our teaching & learning time.
• Mathematics tutoring is available every week. Tuesday at 1^st break and Thursday at 2^nd break in CG01. All students are welcome. This will start week 2 and finish in week 8.
