Secondary Exam Weeks

Due to the nature of Senior Secondary assessment, examination dates will fall throughout each term. It is expected that students will be present at school during the nominated term times.

Specific examination blocks will be communicated via Assessment Calendars, which will be distributed at the beginning of each term. Parents are advised to be familiar with the Assessment Policy, available on the College website, taking particular note of the procedures related to non-attendance at examinations and late or non-submission of assignments.
