Boys must be back at the College by 6.30pm the night before they have an exam.

All boys must leave the College on the day of their last exam having checked off and having had their room closely inspected.

I value the special partnership I have had with you the parents of these very fine men. The Class of 2011 is fortunate to have such great support from home and the school in this important year. I look forward to seeing you all at the end of year functions.

Solid top end of the Form whose standard of work is reported to be very good.

Worked well in the Half Yearly examinations.

Generally a good start to Term 2 work.

How much work are they doing on the weekend?

They want everything done for them!

Tend to be complacent about their academic success.

Trial HSC exams are the main focus. Trials carry a heavy assessment weighting.

Exam periods often carry increased stress for many students.

Some assessment task will continue after the Trials in some subjects.

Holiday preparation is essential.

Access to iLearn and BOS website

Saturation study using past papers.

Reduced computer time. More written work.

Complete responses to a set time frame similar to exam conditions.

Illness and misadventure AT THE TIME OF THE EXAM.
