GAT your hair cut: Senior students back at school for first exam

It's been a long two months since Glen Eira Secondary College senior students had gone to school. There'd been plenty of remote learning, but not much catching up in real life.the General Achievement Test, known as the GATSchool co-captain Noah Loven said he felt "de-stressed" after completing the three-hour literacy, numeracy and general knowledge test.

Each student's results in the GAT will help assess how much special consideration due to COVID-19 they should be given on their overall VCE results. There were other differences this year. Students wore masks and were spaced 1.5 metres apart. While students traditionally don't study for the test, many did practice exams over the holidays to maximise their score.Loading

Victorian Premier Dan Andrews stressed on Wednesday that year 12 students would be supported this year and beyond.

I’m sure many would be wishing they’d never lived in Melbourne or had to do year 12 in 2020

I can only imagine how dumbed down this years exam questions will be. 2020 students were robbed of an education.

Nice to a school other than McKinnon Sec get recognition and publicity. Thank you

Yeah so proud. Vic Govt forced kids to wear masks. How lovely!
