HSC 2018

HSC examinations commenced this week with the common English paper, completed by all HSC Advanced and Standard English students in NSW.  This paper examines students’ comprehension, creative writing and analytical skills, making it challenging in terms of the variety of skills it draws upon.  Over the next three weeks there will be a range of papers every day. 

Our students were very composed and focused as they  moved into their paper on Thursday morning.   The nervous energy on the first day was palpable, however students demonstrated that they were prepared and more than ready to begin the examination process.  

Congratulations to all HSC parents – keeping the home front calm and orderly whilst trying to normalise the examination process is a challenging task during this time, but one that our Loreto families are clearly mastering. 

Please follow  this link to hear a good luck message from the CEO of NESA, Mr David de Carvalho,  to all of our HSC students .

Best wishes to all students as they continue their exams.
