Dear Parents and Carers

As we approach a crucial period in the academic year, I want to take a moment to wish our Year 12 students the best of luck in their upcoming ATAR exams. Their hard work, dedication, and perseverance have brought them to this point, and we have every confidence in their abilities to excel. Remember, it's not just about the destination, but the journey and the growth they've experienced along the way.

To our Year 11 students, whose exams commence next week, this is your opportunity to showcase your potential. Stay focused, remain confident, and give it your all.

Lower school students, your exams will be here before you know it, starting in Week 7. Keep up the fantastic work in your studies.

To all our students, I want to applaud your hard work and efforts throughout the year. It's not just about the exams; it's about the knowledge and skills you've acquired and the personal growth you have experienced.

In light of the upcoming exams, I’d like to share five tips to assist you in your preparation performance.

  1. Stay organized: Create a study schedule and prioritize your time effectively.
  2. Practice past papers: Familiarize yourself with the exam format and types of questions.
  3. Stay healthy: Get enough rest, eat well, and exercise to maintain your physical and mental well-being.
  4. Seek help when needed: Don't hesitate to ask teachers or peers for assistance.
  5. Stay positive: Believe in yourself and your abilities. A positive mindset can make a significant difference.

You have our full support, and we believe in each one of you. Keep calm, do your best, and remember, you are capable of achieving great things. Best of luck to all!

Kind regards
Anne Crock
