Year 10 News

This term, our Year 10 students have been busy preparing for the transition into their senior years. This term has been filled with exciting opportunities, valuable experiences, and essential steps towards their future pathways.

Earlier in the term, students attended the Job Skills Expo at Lardner Park, where they explored a wide range of industries, spoke with professionals, and participated in seminars and panel discussions. This was a fantastic chance to start thinking about possible career directions.

We also held information sessions with the VCE and VCE-VM Leaders, giving students a clearer understanding of the pathways available as they move into Year 11. With VCE and the new VCE Vocational Major on offer, students are learning how to choose the pathway that best suits their goals and interests.

Families also had the opportunity to attend the Senior Pathways Information Evening and tour the University Campus. This was followed by the Subject Information Day, which ensured every Year 10 student gained insight into the subject choices available for 2026. The final step in this process was Course Counselling, where students, parents, and staff came together to finalise subject selections and confirm the best individual pathway forward.

We are incredibly proud of the maturity our Year 10 students have shown throughout the term as they begin making decisions that will shape their future.

Work Experience

Kara, Emily, and Ajax, along with a few Churchill Campus students, have been having a great time with their work experience at GHD this week. They have enjoyed this STEM program.

Camp

To cap off an action-packed term, students from both the Churchill and Morwell Campuses will head off next week for the Year 10 Tasmania Camp (September 7–11). We look forward to sharing the students’ adventures in the next newsletter.

Students remaining at school will participate in a modified program tailored to keep them engaged and on track with their learning.
