DEPUTY PRINCIPAL – ACADEMIC

Congratulations to all our Year 7 and 9 students who participated in the 2021 NAPLAN tests in Week 4. Students are to be commended on their positive attitude throughout the three days of testing. Students were prepared with the correct equipment, on time to each session and showed true determination in attempting these tests. 

As we enter the final few weeks of term it is important that students are well-prepared for their upcoming assessment and have implemented good study habits to assist them. One important strategy to manage time is to ensure that students regularly refer to the Assessment Calendars and Exam Blocks on the College Website.

Some further helpful hints to prepare for exams include:

  • Start Early – don’t leave your study until the week before the exam.
  • Plan a Study Timetable – this will ensure a certain amount of time each day is allocated to study. Students will find study timetables in their College diary on pages 18 to 21.
  • Find a place that is quiet and not distracting.
  • Turn off social media, text messages and phone calls to avoid interruptions.
