Semester One Exams

The semester one examination period commences on Monday 31 May 2021. Students from Years 9 - 11 will be involved in a series of exams designed to consolidate and examine the learning that has taken place from the beginning of the year. On Wednesday 9 June, all VCE Unit 3 students will complete the General Achievement Test (GAT).

Examinations are an integral part of the complete learning experience; however, it is also important to note that at Years 10 and 11 they will form part of the basis for determining entry into certain VCE subjects for 2022. This is also the case for those Year 9 students wishing to apply for acceleration into a VCE subject in Year 10, 2022.

Given the importance of these examinations in terms of academic progression and crucial examination experience prior to Year 12, it is anticipated that your son will complete sustained examination preparation. Advice on this has been provided to students through presentations and workshops, as well as by classroom teachers.

Further details, including the timetables for each Year Level and instructions about the logistics of the exam period will be provided over the coming week.
