we have an assessment week in week 8 too. is it really that stange? im not completely suprised, i doubted we would get through the term without being assessed on something haha
We started the HSC courses as soon as we came back this term, although we're only getting the proper text books now the year 12 kids are returning them. My first assessment is in week 8, and then I have FIVE!!! in week nine.
We stay until the 19th of December, just like Years 7, 8 and 9.
