From the Dean of Teaching and Learning
Year 10 Exam Block and Final Middle School Assessment
As we approach the end of the semester, students are preparing for their exams and completing their assignments.
To assist your son with his study, here are some tips that I shared in last week's newsletter:
- Break down your study into manageable chunks and switch between different subjects or topics to keep your interest.
- Take regular breaks and do something relaxing, healthy, or fun. Avoid screen time and get some fresh air or exercise.
- Get enough sleep before the exams. Sleeping well will help you remember and apply what you have learned better than staying up late and cramming.
Congratulations to Year 12!
As they enter their final stretch of their journey at the college, we want to congratulate our Year 12s on reaching this milestone; only 52 timetabled days left until they finish and embark on a new chapter in their lives. This is an exciting and challenging time, but also a rewarding and memorable one.
As family, teachers and peers, it’s important to ensure that they don't stop now.
Year 12 is a busy time, with exams, assignments and module completion. They need the space and time to work and study hard to reach their goals.
This morning, we heard from Father William about the three important "P’s in your pod": persistence, perspective, and prayer. Persistence means trying and learning, even when it's hard. Perspective means keeping calm and seeing the big picture. Prayer means finding time to ask God for strength, help and guidance in everything. We are here to support you and we believe in you. Good luck with your exams and your future. You're almost done, so keep it up and end well!
