Semester Two Exams
With the Semester Two exams underway at Kinnoull, it’s important that students implement appropriate self-help wellbeing strategies that will enable each student to be at their best when sitting for their end of year exams. At a recent campus virtual assembly, I shared the following key messages with the Year 10 and 11 students:
  • It’s ok and very normal to have feelings of anxiety about sitting exams
  • Sitting exams is good practice for attempting VCE end of year exams
  • It is an opportunity to refine and improve student’s study habits and routines
  • It’s an opportunity to test your knowledge
Managing good self-care will play a critical role in enabling each student to feel confident throughout the examination period. Consequently, it is highly recommended that each student undertake the following self-care steps to support their wellbeing over the coming week:
  • Create an exam study planner which will enable each student to take control of managing their time
  • Exercise regularly each day by getting outside
  • Staying positive, even when study may become challenging
  • Study online with like-minded peers
  • Break the study down into small pieces – taking it one step at a time
Above all else, students should attempt all examinations to the best of their ability, despite the challenges of remote learning this Semester.

The examination time tables are available on the College OLLIE page.
