Year 12 News
Kristen Pfitzner & Nick Rigas | Year 12 Coordinators
We congratulate Year 12 students on settling into this busy term. Time sure is flying and students do not have many more weeks left of their formal schooling.
English Help sessions
Please note that the delivery of after school English Help sessions (Thursdays 3.30 to 4.30pm) has been changed so that students can choose what best suits their individual needs. Foundation Skills (M3): This room will focus on the core skills for Argument Analysis and Text Response. There will be short writing practice as a group and revision on writing structures. This group is for those who want to guarantee a 25 study score. Breakout (M4): When there is a teacher available, this space will be there for quiet study and one-on-one support. Stretch (M5): This room will focus on advanced ideas and discussions around Argument Analysis and Station Eleven. This group is for those looking to push themselves and are aiming for high 30s into the 40s as a study score.
Lunchtime support sessions
A number of lunchtime support sessions have been planned to help Year 12 students with VTAC applications, in addition to organising their study time and revision, and supporting them with general health and wellbeing.

School Exits – VCE VM students
With the end of the year approaching and several VCE VM students gaining employment or full-time apprenticeships, it is important to know that you MUST complete EXIT paperwork with Ms Twaddell (VCE students) or Mr Offer (VCE VM) students. You cannot ‘leave’ without signing off on a number of things eg. library, IT, CAP and have a destination/career pathway. If this is work, it must be 25hrs plus per week. If it is university, then you indicate which university and course you have put as a preference. If you have any queries, please see Ms Twaddell or Mr Offer. Exit forms will be handed out to all Year 12 students towards the end of term 3.
