Yr. 10 Work Experience

Footy Tipping

We’re down to the final round – and it’s going right down to the wire!

With only one tip separating first and second, and several others still well within striking distance, there’s plenty riding on the final nine games of the home-and-away season.

Thanks to everyone who has taken part throughout the year and supported our Year 10 Melbourne Work Experience fundraising. Good luck with the final round!

NCD Athletics Canteen

A big thank you to everyone who supported the Work Experience fundraising canteen at the recent NCD Athletics Carnival. Special thanks to Jess L. and Briony Z. for organising the canteen, along with the students and parents who donated items and helped out on the day.

A big thank you also to Charlton Bakery and Charlton IGA for their always generous donations of food items. We really appreciate their continued support of our students and school programs.

A great start to fundraising for next year’s Year 10 Melbourne Work Experience program!

Year 10 and 11 subject selections

Thank you to the Year 10 and 11 students and families who have already submitted their expressions of interest for subjects in 2027. Interviews with students will continue over the next few weeks to refine these selections. Notes on all discussions will be posted to Compass and Career Tools so that families can keep up to date with their child’s progress with selections. Should parents have any questions or concerns, please email Miss King through Compass, or make contact via the office on 5491 1280.
