Throughout Term 1 we each regularly checked up on the Year 9 students who had been awarded scholarships to ensure they were settling in fine. Starting after the practice exams in May, we turned our attention to helping senior students prepare for the Benchmark and External exams. We organised tutoring by the committee members and other Year 13’s who were willing to give up one or two lunchtimes each week. This was successful and continued until study leave began for the senior students. During Term 4 we held a second academic assembly, this time to acknowledge and congratulate those students who gained Excellence in six or more of their internal assessments throughout this year. We have enjoyed our time in the Academic Committee and we would like to congratulate all students on the hard work that they have put in throughout the year towards receiving the results that they deserve.
