The end of the first semester is fast approaching with only four more weeks before Years 11 and 12 VCE students have practice exams commencing in the week of the King’s Birthday holiday; VCE/VM students will have a catch-up week. It is particularly important for VCE students that they make sure they complete the learning outcomes and SACs during this time so they can achieve satisfactory results for their subjects. Please make sure teachers are made aware if students are having difficulties and remember that extra help is available after school on Monday and Thursday afternoons in the library study sessions.

The 2023 General Achievement Test (GAT) will be held on Thursday, 15th June. The GAT has to be done by all students doing a 3/4-unit VCE subject and some Year 12 students doing the VCE/VM. The GAT will be held in the Fed Uni Auditorium. The purpose of the GAT is to provide information on student abilities in reading, writing, comprehension, and maths. If something happens to limit a student's participation in exams at the end of the year or complete parts of their studies there is an indicator of their abilities so this can be used as part of their assessment. While it is not possible to study for the GAT it is something that students should take seriously unless they are 100% certain they can predict their future and everything will be fine.

Students have started to do the Attitude to School Survey (AtoSS) this week. This is a survey that allows them to share their feelings about the school and their teachers as well their relationships with their peers and their view of their own world. AtoSS information is completely confidential. It provides the College with important insights into how the school is going and how our students are coping with their education.

Last Wednesday I attended Federation Uni’s scholarship presentation at the University's auditorium. And the winners of the 2023 Gippsland Education Precinct bursaries were…Anya Robinson studying the Bachelor of Nursing and Bridie Byrne studying the Bachelor of Occupational Therapy. Bridie and Anya are loving their studies at Fed Uni.
