Several locals took the opportunity to get some quiet last-minute study time in with the Bega Library HSC Lockdown on Wednesday evening.
From 5.30pm, students from Bega High School and Sapphire Coast Anglican College trickled in to hit the books. A similar event was held at the Eden Library.
Refreshments and dinner were also supplied by the council and organised by BVSC programs and partnerships officer Scott Baker.
Sisters from SCAC Bethany and Caitilin O’Connor said they were “semi-ready” for Thursday’s exams.
The twins will be sitting both the English and Music exams, so they said they were looking forward to Friday afternoon!
Bega High School students Kaytlen Walsh and Alysha Troy were also using the lockdown to get in some final preparations.
Kaytlen admitted she was a little nervous heading into the HSC exams, but said the lockdown was a nice way to avoid any potential distractions at home.
Ellie Grose, also from Bega High said she would be happy to get English out of the way.
She said she preferred maths “as at least there’s only one right answer”.
Ellie said she planned to take a gap year to travel overseas before starting environmental engineering at university.
HSC exams run through until November 4.
