Preparing for Semester One Examinations

Year 8 and 9 preparation and exams will commence from 9 June. Students should be encouraged to allocate time not only for homework, but to revise for the semester examinations as well. At the recent year level assemblies, students were presented with a variety of study approaches and tips.

Along with encouraging your child to consider Homework Club, we seek your support in creating a distraction-free environment for when your child studies.

• Regular timetabled classes run for Year 8 and 9 students when they are not in examinations.
• Subjects without an examination will continue with course work and their final assessments.
• All students are required to wear their correct full school uniform in all exams. Sport uniform may only be worn on the designated ACC Sport days.

Unfortunately, missed examinations are unlikely to be rescheduled. If your child is absent due to illness, please email Nadia Bonvicino with a copy of the medical certificate. If your child is absent for another reason (example – bereavement), please communicate that accordingly. In such cases, the grade of X-Special Circumstances may be awarded. Students who do miss an examination should ask their subject teacher for a copy of the paper once the exam period has ended, they can complete the paper at home for feedback.

Please contact Ms Nadia Bonvicino, Dean of Learning - Years 7 to 9, if you have questions regarding Year 8 or 9 examinations.
