From the Director of Student Learning (Years 11 to 12)
Year 12 are Champions
Trial examinations are in progress and the students are awesome! They arrive ready to go in a calm and mature manner each day and are so supportive of each other. Thank you to the Senior School team for assisting the students and helping to facilitate any catch up exams. Thank you to the parents and families for providing the study snacks and hugs of encouragement. Students are enjoying a good luck play with Turi and Archie before and after exams.
Congratulations to all our conscientious Year 12 students and very best wishes for the rest of your exams.
Illness during Trial exams:
Students follow the usual Illness/misadventure procedures.
- Email the Senior School and CC in their teacher to notify that they are ill and unable to do the exam
- Obtain a medical certificate and attach this to the IMA form and submit to curriculum@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au(For Covid, a screenshot of the PCR result or email from NSW Health is needed in lieu of a medical certificate)
- Students will be emailed with the catch-up time for their exam which will be completed within the Trial examination period if possible.
Year 11
Thank you to the Year 11 students for being so considerate by being quiet in the Senior Centre during the Trial exams. Year 11 students will have yearly exams in Week 6 and 7 this term so Year 12 will be able to return the favour.
Exams are an opportunity for students to display their understanding, their ability to analyse unseen questions and apply their knowledge. They test work from the whole year in most subjects.
They are important preparation and practice for the trial and HSC examinations which they will be doing this time next year.
The manner in which students prepare and perform in their exams will be one helpful tool in deciding which combination of subjects to pursue into Year 12.
The Year 12 2023 online subject selection evening is on 14 September to talk about the options moving into Year 12. Students can make appointments with me to discuss possible subject options using the link on the home page of the Senior School Canvas course.
