Please find below the schedule for the Year 12 Tutorials in Term 3, Week 8. Topics covered during the tutorials include content revision, study skills, exam preparation and practice papers. These tutorials have proven extremely valuable and, while not compulsory, are strongly encouraged.

It is important that we know attendance numbers so teachers can prepare accordingly. To that end, the expectation is that students who register for the tutorial, attend. Rolls will be taken to assist us to manage the program. The cut-off time to register for morning tutorials is 3pm the day prior.

The Year 12 Semester 2 Progress Report will be available towards the end of next week, for you to view and download on the Parent Lounge in TASS. You will receive an email when the reports are ready, which will include the instructions on how to access the information on TASS.

This report will include your child’s Learner Profile grades, Trial Examination mark (or the mark for the most recent task for subjects that do not include an examination), rank and cohort rank number (number of students in the course), based on his assessment task(s) for each subject.

VET subjects do not include a mark or rank, as they are competency-based subjects.

Year 12 Post-Trials Study Skills Session – Wednesday, 24 August 2022

To further support Year 12, we have arranged for Dr Prue Salter (www.enhanced-learning.net) to run a workshop with our HSC plus ATAR Year 12 students next Wednesday, 24 August during Period 1 in the PAC Theatre.

The session will help reinvigorate Year 12, to put together a study plan right through to their final HSC exams, so they can be confident about their approach in the last months of their studies. Dr Salter will outline the steps students should take to apply teacher feedback, fine-tune their study approach, and bring balance to their studies with self-care. 

Using research about the brain, students will be guided in how to structure their study during the HSC exam period and avoid common study mistakes. Students will have the chance to map out their exam timetable and allocate study time based on the guidelines Dr Salter explains, looking at different scenarios, such as exams that are clustered together, or significant gaps in the exam timetable.

Parents are encouraged to ask their son to explain their plan to them after the session, as talking through it, will help embed the learning from the session and give parents a greater understanding of what our students will be undertaking in their last weeks of Year 12.

 Some feedback from students who have done this session:

“This session helped me to simplify what I need to do and how I can effectively do it.”

“The session definitely reinvigorated me – gave some great ideas about study partners, etc. – whilst also not being overly stressful or overwhelming.” 

 “I found Prue very helpful. I’m usually quite individual in terms of my study habits, but I’ll definitely implement some of her patterns in the lead up to the HSC.”

“Overall, the most helpful part for me was probably just knowing that everything I’m thinking is normal, and being reassured that with the right study schedule I should be okay for the HSC. Definitely worth doing!”

“I loved the presentation, it was not only motivating, but practical.”

Some feedback from teachers:

“The session was excellent as always and so helpfully tailored to the situation they are in!”

“Thanks for the session today. It was fabulous and just the right type of motivation the students needed.”
