Year 11 Subject Changes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Year 11 students will finish Unit 2 at the end of Term 3, 2024.\u00a0 Unit 3 content will then begin on Tuesday 1 October (Week 1, Term 4).\u00a0 Students wishing to change subjects for Unit 3 and 4 can book a meeting with the Academic Office.\u00a0 Subject changes for Unit 3 and 4 must be finalised by Friday 11 October (Week 2, Term 4).\u00a0 Any student that wishes to change subjects, must do so at the beginning of Unit 3, as any student that changes throughout either Unit 3 or Unit 4 will not receive credit for these paired units.<\/p>\n

To assist in these subject changes, Year 11 students will be issued with a summary of their Unit 2 Results in the September school holidays via email.<\/p>\n

Year 12 Mock and Applied Subject Exams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier in the term, Year 12 students were emailed a copy of the Year 12 Mock and Applied Subject Exam Block.\u00a0 It is important that students are prepared for this exam block by ensuring they have the correct equipment and understand the conditions of these exams.\u00a0 By following these guidelines, students will experience the same conditions as the External Assessment Exams in Term 4.<\/p>\n

Year 10 and 11 Exam Blocks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Year 10 and 11 students have an Exam Block at the end of Term 3.\u00a0 This exam timetable was distributed to students earlier in the term.\u00a0 A reminder that students must attend all exams in their full Academic College uniform.\u00a0 Only Year 11 students are permitted to complete individual study at home or in the Boarding School during Exam Block.\u00a0 If a Year 11 student does not have exams during Exam Block or only one exam on a particular day, they are permitted to complete individual study at home, however, the parent must advise the College by 9am on the day of these arrangements.\u00a0 Year 11 boarding students will be permitted to return to the Boarding School for individual study.<\/p>\n

Year 10 students must complete study in the assigned classrooms.\u00a0 If students are absent for any exams, they are reminded that they must request special provisions and if it is for medical purposes, provide a medical certificate.<\/p>\n
