Year 11

I have to commend the cohort for how well they have handled their assessment week. I’ve caught up with a number of students and they are clearly well focused and keen to do well. There have, of course, been some bumps in the road and it’s important to remember that these exams are as much about developing exam technique and becoming familiar with process and format as much as anything else.

What has impressed me most has been those students who have reflected on their week and already established what they will change next time around. I’ve heard a lot of comments like ‘I wish I had…’ ‘Next time I’ll…’ and ‘Now I know I need to…’.

We’ll be unpacking the week in Luminary time moving forward, but in the mean time I hope that all our Year 11 students enjoy a well-earned rest over the weekend.
