Exam Results ≠ The Future
![Page 6: Parents of Year 12 2011](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042614/55984b531a28ab4b6d8b459c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A Good Future
Your daughter’s career may not exist yet
Strong work ethic

I go to Loreto Normanhurst
Loreto Normanhurst gets good results
THEREFORE... I will get good results

They use the only assessment task that everyone does – the HSC and then moderate each school’s marks
![Page 11: Parents of Year 12 2011](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042614/55984b531a28ab4b6d8b459c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What do we know about improving these marks?
Conversations are critical to success
All homework supports the HSC.
Cooperation not competition.
The real competition does not go to this school. They are the other 70,000 students who will sit the HSC this year.

Myths about the HSC year
You must get high marks throughout to do well in the HSC
It’s only important that I do well, not the group
My private tutor will give me everything I need to do well
![Page 13: Parents of Year 12 2011](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042614/55984b531a28ab4b6d8b459c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What about practical subjects?
Practical work is assessed by August
A body of work can’t be created at the last minute
BOS marks the final piece of work, teachers mark progress along the way. Make the progress meaningful so that there is not a big discrepancy at the end.

Getting the most out of study
Working smart not long
Getting work marked
Doing night shift
Distractions
