Our exams are possibly the most important part of our school lives and it has just been ripped away from us. All these years of studying and practice papers for what? Our education is important to us. Our exams are important to us. Our futures are important to us. Our LIVES are important to us!
To give students who want to do well and do their best the perfect opportunity to! Our exams are our last resort. Our last chance at secondary to show what we've got. To show how hard we have all worked over the last 5 years. And to help build our futures.
