Whats Happening

There is so much happening in Senior School! Our Year 12 students are in the final stages of their exams, our Year 10 and 11 students have finished their coursework and almost all of their semester exams for the year, and we will commence our Head Start program to prepare our students for their 2019 studies shortly.

Valedictory Dinner

It was with great celebration that the Senior School team was able to farewell the Year 12 students at their Valedictory Dinner. Together with their loved ones, the efforts and perseverance of the students was recognised to complete their certificate of studies before, for many, their final exams. Many thanks to the staff who attended and, in particular, Vicki Manioudakis for her hard work in organising the event. It was a fantastic night and enjoyed by all!

Exams

Our Year 12 students are almost finished their exams – and with them, they complete their secondary schooling. From all of us within the Senior School team, we wish them well for their next exciting journey. May they always remember Dr Seuss’ Oh The Places You Will Go!:

Congratulations!

Today is your day.

You're off to Great Places!

You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself

any direction you choose.

Our Year 10 and Year 11 students have now finished their Semester 2 exams. I encourage all students to reflect thoroughly on their work and their teachers’ feedback, in order to continue to build and develop into the following year. I would like congratulate our students for the preparation and diligence they demonstrated throughout the Semester 2 examination period.

Year 12 Residential

Information and forms have been provided to the 2019, Year 12 students regarding Year 12 Study Skills camp (Residential), which will take place 4-5 February 2019. We ask that these forms and payment is returned promptly to assist in our planning.

Head Start

Our Head Start program commenced on Monday 13 November, with the focus on preparation for 2019. It is, as the name suggests, a ‘Head Start’ on their VCE studies. Students will have the opportunity to receive exam feedback, as part of the program, and are encouraged to examine the areas of strength that they should maintain, areas for improvement and, most importantly, strategies to improve.

A copy of the Head Start timetable is available on Compass.

We are look forward to working with all our students throughout the upcoming program as we prepare with excitement for the year ahead!
