EVERY high year is under pressure now. It is true that Year
12 will no longer have examinations externally, but they
will have assignments and study. It's hard enough to get
them to commit the time outside class to their education,
without them spending more time away from school. Are you
some kind of organisation?
We run trips every year, both day and residential, but the
cost is becoming prohibitive and the responsibility is
enormous.
