From Assistant Principals
31 October By Ashwin Pillai, Assistant Principal - Learning and Teaching
We hope you and your family are in good health and approaching the end of the school year with energy. At this staqe of the year, we would like to provide you with important information regarding the upcoming assessments for Year 7-10students.
Assessments play a crucial role in evaluating students' progress and helping them develop the necessary skills and knowledge for their future academic endeavours. We would like to inform you that the exams for Year 7-10 will be taking place from November 3rd to November 21st during regular class time and scheduled sessions. An exam timetable is attached for your convenience.
So that teaching staff may prepare for Early Start, November 22nd is a student-free day. Students will receive their new timetable during this student free day.
The PAT Testing (SPT) for Years 7 to 10 students will be conducted on the 23rd and 24th November. . This assessment assists in correlating the abilities of students with their achievements in the areas of literacy and numeracy. Correspondence from Rod Mathews to families regarding PAT testing will be communicated directly to families, providing all the necessary information. We would be very grateful if you would support your child in ensuring their device is fully charged on the day of their testing.
We would like to emphasise the importance of effective home study and revision during this time. To support your students’ preparation for these assessments, we encourage you to create a conducive study environment at home. Establishing a routine, ensuring a quiet and distraction-free space, and encouraging regular breaks can greatly enhance your child's ability to concentrate and retain information. Moreover, engaging in discussions about their studies, asking questions, and providing guidance can significantly benefit their understanding and confidence.
Revision week has begun at school this week but apart from revision in class, students should review their class notes, textbooks, and any supplementary materials provided by their teachers. Setting aside dedicated time for revision each day will greatly aid in reinforcing key concepts and ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the subjects.
Lastly, we would like to inform you that the semester reports will be released on Friday, December 5th. These reports will provide a comprehensive assessment of your students’ progress throughout the term, including their performance in the upcoming exams and final assessment tasks.
If you have any concerns or questions regarding the assessments, please do not hesitate to reach out to your students’ subject teachers or Teacher Advisor. We are here to provide guidance and support during this period. PAM is also a useful reference at any time.
Thank you for your ongoing support in fostering a positive learning environment for your student wish all our students the best of luck in their assessments and hope that they approach this time with confidence and a growth mindset.
