Monday 17th October Week 2 Term 4 Testing Week

Monday 17th October. Week 2 term 2

This is our main testing week for the term.

Remember these rules apply and will be enforced.

1. We sit alone to focus on ourselves.
2. All phones and headphones are handed in, no music in tests.
3. All food in bags, bags at front of main common by resource room.
4. No talking until time up is called.

When  testing remember tests have a set time. Built in to that time is an allocation for reading the instructions and following questions, and checking afterwards. If the test is for 45 minutes and you return it in 7 you will receive 0 and will be required to sit the test again properly.

Testing shows you, your parents and your Teachers the growth you have had from one test to the next.

Testing shows you, your parents and your Teachers what gaps you have we can support you to fill, what we need to plan to help you attain the skills that a Year 8 student should have.

testing measures your learning and capability to accept a challenge.

Your behaviour during testing shows how much you value learning and using your knowledge and skills to apply to answers questions and solving problems.

We will make sure the environment allows you to do your best by keeping it quiet, giving you space and supporting you with the reading of something that has confused you.

Do your best to show us what you can do.
