As put by Blair Boyer
More than 13,000 South Australian students will sit their exams over the next 10 days across 202 school sites.
While exams can be a stressful time, it's also an opportunity to showcase all the hard work students have put in throughout their years of high school.
Whatever the next chapter is for our students – whether it is heading off to university, undertaking further training at TAFE, securing an apprenticeship or traineeship, or heading out into the workforce – their schooling years will have prepared them well for whatever they decide to do next.
As put by SACE Board Chief Executive Michaela Bensley
The SACE Board would like to remind all students sitting exams that their efforts so far have already laid a strong foundation for their future and that their achievements extend far beyond the exam room.
As students begin their final SACE exams, we recognise the strong partnerships shared with schools and educators across South Australia.
Their ongoing support, guidance and commitment have been instrumental in preparing students for this stage of their learning journey.
