More than 60 students sat for the two-hour English (Standard) and English (Advanced) Paper 1 – and the verdict wasn’t too bad.
“It was okay,” Jayden Parker said.
“However, I prepared for this exam.
“I wrote some essays to practice for it.
“Today, we did an essay, a creative writing piece and answered comprehension questions.
“I expect tomorrow – English (Standard) and English (Advanced) Paper 2 – will be a lot harder.

Muswellbrook High School principal Elizabeth Bate praised the efforts of senior prep room teacher Fiona Bailey.

“The students are feeling supported and organised – they look calm.
“They are a great group of kids.
“I, and the rest of the staff, wish them well over the next month.”
