Year 10 and 11 preparation and exams will commence in a few weeks’ time. Students should be encouraged to allocate time not only for homework, but to revise for the semester examinations as well. In the coming weeks, students will also receive detailed instructions and tips on how to best prepare for their exams.
Year 10 and 11 students will have exams in all subjects.
Year 10 and 11 exams will be held from Wednesday 2 June to Monday 16 June. All students are required to wear their correct full school uniform in all exams. Sport uniforms may not be worn, except by those involved in ACC Sport on the day of the exam.
Note: Year 10 and 11 students are required to attend school for only the times of their exams plus 30 minutes prior. There will be no Tutor Group on these days for Year 10s and 11s.
Year 11 students studying a Unit 3 & 4 subject will be required to sit the GAT on Tuesday 17 June. All other Year 11 students have a student free day on the day of the GAT.
Year 10 students have regular timetabled classes for exam feedback from Tuesday 17 June.
Study halls will be available in the NLC for any student remaining at school during normal school hours. If a student does not attend a Year 10 or 11 examination, if possible, it will be rescheduled only for approved school events (e.g. ACC Sport) or upon presentation of a medical certificate. Please contact Mr James Fogarty, Dean of Learning Years 10 to 12, if you have questions regarding Year 10 or 11 examinations.
The Nano Nagle Tutoring program, which sees high-achieving Old Paradian students from the Class of 2024 tutoring our current VCE students, continues in Term 2. The program is open to all VCE students and will run on most Tuesdays and Thursdays in Terms 1 to 3, from 3.30pm to 4.25pm in the VCE Study Centre (MQ28). The only afternoon in Term 2 when the program will not run is Tuesday 17 June. Students who attend are welcome to receive help or simply study in the area. This is a great opportunity for VCE students to get extra assistance in meeting the demands of the final years of their schooling.
The GAT is scheduled for Tuesday 17 June, and will be held in the Greening Auditorium. All Year 12 VCE and VCE VM students complete the GAT, as well as Year 11 students accelerating in a Unit 3-4 subject. Students can get a sense of the types of questions included in the GAT via the VCAA website.
Students who are absent for a SAC are reminded to obtain a medical certificate, to present to their teacher upon their return. Generally, missed SACs are rescheduled to Thursday afternoons and can go as late as 5:15pm, so students should avoid scheduling part-time work or other commitments on this day.
Important information for Year 10 families interested in their child being enrolled in the VCE Vocational Major for 2026 based at the Preston Campus, including the Sport and Business Academy can be found in the Preston Campus/ERPP & VCE VM section of this newsletter.
