VCE News

The class of 2026 has hit the ground running in their last term 1 of secondary school. They are adapting well to the transition from year 11 to year 12, completing their first School Assessed Coursework tasks in a serious and focused manner.

Our Year 11 students have completed their first term of VCE, adapting to the new language around SACs, study designs and what constitutes a satisfactory result. We have students working in the VET space and completing Structured Workplace Learning. VCE English students completed their first after-school SAC responding to the text A Christmas Carol. They are quickly adapting to the responsibilities of senior school and the expectations of VCE.

Events

The RYDA Workshop

The Year 11 students ventured out of school to participate in the RYDA Program at Sandown. The whole day even takes students on a progression from understanding to practice. The learning objectives involve:

• Identifying crash factors
• Appreciating personal risk
• Developing personal strategies
• Approaching driving as a social responsibility

The students took part in practical demonstrations of braking at speed, learning about living with the consequences of injuring someone else on the road and general safety.

Year 12 Movie Night

Students arrived with tickets in hand, ready for an evening of fun and relaxation. The night kicked off with a range of games that brought plenty of laughs and friendly competition, with snacks to keep everyone energised. A highlight of the evening was the exciting Easter egg hunt, which had students eagerly searching and working together. 

The night wrapped up with everyone settling in to enjoy the feel‑good movie Big Hero 6, making it the perfect way for our Year 12s to unwind and spend time together. Thanks to all the staff who attended and supported the smooth running of the night, and Lory Arslanian and Kabita Prasad for their organisation.
