Dear parents, carers and Year 12 students,
I have received another important update from NESA. The NESA COVID Response Committee has made additional changes to the 2021 HSC timetable to give students certainty in the lead up to performance, practical and written examinations.
In line with Health advice, the decision has been made to:
• Extend the hand in date for all major projects by 2 weeks. The hand-in date for Industrial Technology has been extended by 4 weeks.
• Reschedule Drama performance exams to run from 6 to 17 September.
• Music performance exams continue as scheduled, running from 30 August to 10 September.
• Reschedule the written exams to begin one week later on 19 October with HSC results out on 17 December.
These changes mean all students have some additional time to prepare for exams or complete their project and still receive their results this year.
The decision aims to give students as much clarity as possible so they can focus on their studies, their wellbeing and plans for the future. I am hopeful that receiving this information earlier than originally planned by NESA will alleviate some of the anxiety and concerns our students are experiencing.
Please stay safe and well.
