Year 10 exams begin soon

As students continue with their exam preparations, they are reminded to keep up an established routine, maintain a positive mind frame and to remember not to panic! Creating lists and making sure notes are organised with key topics will be important preparation. Students should focus on the subjects of the first week now (English and History).

Attendance / Illness during exam week
It is important that students do not leave the College for appointments after the exam as they are required to continue attending normal classes. Parents and guardians should contact Mrs Ganga Fraser, gfraser@dominic.tas.edu.au, if they have any questions. We wish all our Year 10 students the best for their Year 10 examinations.
