HSC Written Examinations 

Congratulations to the Year 12 cohort, who have demonstrated an amazing level of resilience this year, remaining focused on their study and overcoming many disruptions to get to the HSC written examinations. This week the students began their assessment with English Paper 1 & 2. Considering the COVID protocols, our student cohort was impressive and focussed.

On behalf of Mr Abbotts and the Year 12 Homeroom teachers, I wish all Year 12 Students the very best for their remaining exams this month. 

Lyn Sharratt Learning Collaborative 

As a College, we are continuing our journey working with Lyn Sharrat in a learning collaborative to improve our teaching and learning in literacy. 

The last 2 weeks have seen Year 7/8 undertake PAT testing to help teachers pinpoint where students are at in their learning, identify areas of strength as well as areas for targeted improvement. This data will enable our teaching Staff to tailor their learning and teaching based on student capability.
