Year 8 and 9 preparation and exams will commence from 10 June. 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.
The following Year 8 subjects will have an examination in both semesters this year.
The following Year 9 subjects will have an examination in both semesters this year.
Year 8: Monday 16 June to Wednesday 18 June
Year 9: Monday 16 June to Thursday 19 June
Note: There will be no ExCEL classes on Wednesday 18 June. All year 9 students will be based at Bundoora Campus for the day.
Regular timetabled classes run for Year 8 and 9 students when they are not in exams. All students are required to wear their correct full school uniform in all exams. Sport uniforms may only be worn on the designated ACC Sport days.
Where a Year 8 or 9 student is unable to attend an examination, it may not be possible to have the exam rescheduled. If a student misses an exam due to illness, then they will receive the grade ‘X-Special Circumstance’ for that task. Students absent for an exam due to an approved school event (e.g. ACC Sport) will be notified of an alternative time to sit the examination that was missed.
Please contact Ms Nadia Bonvicino, Dean of Learning - Year 7 to 9 if you have questions regarding Year 8 or 9 examinations.
Year 8 students participated in an Elevate Education webinar at the end of Term 1. They learnt about creating effective summary notes, how to use heading and subheadings to organise their work, and how to create a mind-map. Parents are encouraged to speak with their child about this seminar.
Elevate Education offers parents free 60-minute webinars where parents are shown strategies to support their child through school.
