This year, students start preparing for Year 12, so it's important your child settles into a good routine that balances study commitments and life outside of school.
Preparing for Year 12
The subjects studied in Year 11 are preliminary subjects for Year 12 study and exams in Year 12.
Minimum Standards
There is a minimum standard of literacy and numeracy in order to receive the Higher School Certificate (HSC) from 2020. The tests will be available to take at school and you will receive more information when the times comes. Sample questions and answers are available online, as well as practice tests and advice from students. You do not need to sit the reading, writing or numeracy online tests if you achieved Band 8 or above in the respective Year 9 NAPLAN tests.
Some student with disabilities will be eligible for extra provisions for the online tests, or an exemption. Students sitting the HSC in 2019 do not need to take these tests or meet these minimum standards.
See our Minimum Standards page for more information.
Wellbeing
Year 11 can be a challenging time for students. Your child's year adviser and other staff are available to give support or students can make an appointment to see the school counsellor.
Careers advice
Our school careers adviser can help students make educational choices, define a career direction and prepare for future study and training.
The careers advisory services website also offers help in clarifying course choices, employment opportunities, career pathways or training options. See career development for students (also in community languages).
