Year 10 Exam Special Provision
Unit 1 exams begin on Monday 3 June and Year 10 exams begin the week later on Tuesday 11 June.
The last day of the examination period is Friday 14 June. Semester 2 and Unit 2 classes will start on the following Monday 17 June.
The examination timetable will be released in the coming weeks.
At VCE level, Special Provision can be obtained for students sitting exams - "if their ability to demonstrate achievement is adversely affected" by:
- an acute or chronic illness
- a long-term impairment
- personal circumstances
Any Year 10 student who believes they meet the above criteria should speak to their Coordinators to initiate procedures for the upcoming exam period. Applications for Special Provision is due Monday 20 May.
If eligible, it is vital that you apply for Special Provision for Year 10 Exams as this process will aide the external Special Provision application process in VCE. Application for Special Provisions is required year by year and will be granted year by year.

Student Lunches
Just a reminder to parents that we are unable to deliver lunches to students during school time. It is the student’s responsibility to come and collect their lunch if it has been dropped off at Reception. Hot food is not suitable to be left at Reception.
PLEASE NOTE:- Take-away food is not allowed at the College during school hours. Under no circumstancesare students to be ordering take-away food to be delivered to the College.
Student Compass ID/Library/PTV Cards
Please remind all students that they must carry their Student Compass ID/Library/PTV Cards with them at all times.
ALL students must sign in and out with their card at The John Landy Centre (Senior School Building)when they are arriving late or leaving early for any reason.
The cards are also used for any student photocopying that is done at school. The EDSC Student Compass ID/Library card can be used as ID for student PTV (Public Transport Victoria) travel. They are required to carry this card as student identification while travelling on public transport.
If a student loses their card, parents/guardians are able to re-order a replacement card via the Compass parent portal.
