School Holiday Practice Exams: A Step Towards Success

During the school holidays, our committed VCE students made the most of their break by coming into school to sit for practice exams. With their pencils sharpened and a serious caffeine boost, they tackled like-for-like assessments designed to mirror the real exam experience. This initiative not only helps build confidence but also allows students to identify areas for improvement before the big day. As they faced math problems and essay prompts, they proved that studying doesn’t have to mean sacrificing fun. After all, nothing says "holiday spirit" quite like a practice exam! Way to go, VCE warriors!

Keep an Eye on the Calendar!

As we approach the end of the school year, it’s essential to keep track of these important dates. Whether it’s practicing for exams, gearing up for graduation, or preparing for our Year 12 camp, every moment counts. Stay organized, and don’t let those deadlines sneak up on you like that pop quiz you weren’t ready for! With a little planning and some good humour, we can finish strong. Remember, the only thing worse than a surprise assembly is not being prepared for the exciting events we have lined up. Let’s make the most of this school year together!
