WAMSE Testing Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th August 2013

Next Tuesday all our Year 9 students will be sitting their Western Australian Monitoring Standards in Education tests in Science and Society & Environment in our gymnasium. There will be two tests each day with two Science tests on Tuesday starting at 8.30am and two Society and Environment tests on Wednesday also starting at 8.30am. On both days the tests will be finished by recess and students will return to their normal timetabled classes from period 3 until the end of the day. The best preparation for the tests is for students to read over their notes in Science and S&E, to get a good night’s sleep prior to each of the days and to eat a good, nutritious breakfast on the two days of the test. We will be providing toast outside the gym from about 8.10am to make sure everyone gets a chance to eat a good breakfast. Students do not need to bring anything to the test as we will be providing pencils, erasers and all paper required. They will need to bring their normal equipment for Periods 3 to 5. Rockingham SHS and all of its staff would like to wish our Year 9 students all the very best for the 2013 WAMSE assessments and I’d like to once again thank parents for their support of their students’ learning in our school.
