<div>Hi Claudia</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We would normally finish before our exam period, however, there were some interruptions with classes, timing, SAC days, some illness, Year 11s available and Year 12s not or the other way around and a different timing to our exams this year. It seemed to be a very awkward term this year.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We felt it was just easier to go one week after our exam period. The students were happier as there was less rushing of a practice task to get to the SAC. They also seemed to be less ratty after exams than they were before them. It has been good preparation for Unit 4 as they have gone from one straight to the other without the interruptions of exams.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I wouldn't make a habit of it. But it did seem to work OK.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers</div>
