What is the correct format for writing a notice for the HSC exam?

We get a notice writing question but I am never sure about the box, the word 'NOTICE', and whether to put my name at the bottom.

Draw a box around the whole notice. At the top, write the name of the school or organisation, then the word 'NOTICE' in capitals and centred. Below that, write the date on the left. Next comes a short, catchy heading that states the purpose. The body should be brief, ideally within 50 words, covering what, when, where, why and whom to contact, written in the third person and a formal tone. At the bottom left, write your name and designation, such as 'Secretary' or 'Head Girl'. Do not write your own personal address, and do not begin with 'Dear all'; a notice is impersonal. Keeping it inside the box, dated, and within the word limit secures the format marks.
