VCE Study Resources

We have a number of resources available to VCE students for exam preparation:

Print Study Guides – a wide selection of VCE Study Guides available in the JRC on the Reference Shelves. These guides are for in-library use.

A+ Digital Library for VCE – subscriptions to the Nelson A+ Digital Library which holds study notes and exam questions for most subjects. This is available via the Resource Centre homepage: Compass > ‘Star’ > Resource Centre > A+ Digital Library

VCE English Resources - digital study resources for all VCE and EAL novels. To access: Compass > ‘Star’ > Resource Centre > VCE English Resources

Library Loans

Just a reminder that library loans are for two weeks only and students are expected to renew or return their books after this time. Whilst we don’t charge overdue fines, if your book is long overdue you will need to pay for a replacement.

Next Term we will be introducing automatically generated notices that will be emailed to students two days prior (Reminder Notice), three days and 14 days overdue, which should make keeping up to date easier. After this point parents will be contacted.

Chess Tournament

The JRC will be hosting the Frankston High School Chess Competition early in Term 4. Keep an eye open for details in coming weeks.
