Term 3 is here and it will be a busy one for all.

See you at the quiz (August 8th); Marking workshop (August 23rd) or at the Scholarship workshop (13 September).

Don’t forget that the AGTA practice exams are available to use by all member schools.

You will need to be logged in to access these exams for later this term. Saves you time (which I know we all like) and you can be sure that students haven’t seen them (so reliable).
All levels and all standards available including scholarship.
