At Thomas Carr College we are committed to fostering a culture of excellence and our expectations are high in our approach to student learning and improving student outcomes. This extends to providing opportunities for students to consolidate and demonstrate their learning through a combination of set assessment tasks and semester-based examinations.

VCE Unit 3/4 Classes – For Year 11 students who are accelerating in a Year 12 Subject
Year 11 students undertaking a VCE Unit 3/4 subject are required to continue to attend these classes during the Year 11 examination period. If students have a clash with a Year 11 examination, the Year 11 examination takes priority and students are to catch up on any class(es) missed.

VET Classes
Students who may have timetabled VET classes during the examination period are to attend their VET classes as normal. If you have any questions related to your VET class during the examination period, please see Mr John Bassi (Applied Learning and Vocational Training Leader).

If you do need to reschedule your listed examination to another date, please see or contact Ms Tina Alphonso prior to the start of the examinations.

IMPORTANT: Students who are unwell and not able to attend their examinations are to provide a Medical Certificate for their absence and reschedule their examination.

Further information including a letter to parents outlining the arrangements for these examinations and an updated Semester One Examination timetable will be made available via Operoo. These details will also be posted on the Daily Messages section on SIMON for all students to access.
