CURRICULUM
Year 9 and Year 10 Exam Schedules
Year 9 examinations will be held in the Mercy Centre in Week 8 from Tuesday 21 November – Friday 24 November as per the Calendar. I encourage you to print a copy of the schedule and I will also place printed copies at the Student Counter for students to collect.
Year 10 students have an Exam Block. This means they are only required to be at school when they have an exam. The Library will be available for students to study independently between exam sessions or if they need to wait to be picked up. This area will be supervised.
Year 11 – Unit 3 Assessment Schedule is available on the TCC website. Please note that this is not an exam block. Students are expected to be at school for Week 8. They are not permitted to sign in and out for exams.
