Junior Sub School

 Transition for Year 6 to Year 7

We welcomed our new Grade 6 students and their families during our recent enrolment afternoons. We appreciated our families attending the sessions and our staff who gave generously with their time

Orientation Day for Grade 6 students will be held on Tuesday 12th December. As Grade 6 students will be replacing Year 7 students on this day, Year 7 students will not be required at school. Students will be able to complete their Learning Tasks at home.

A parent/guardian meet and greet morning will take place in the Conference room from approximately 9.00 am. Tea, coffee and nibbles will be available.

Year 8 2018 Information Evening

A Year 7 to 8 Parent Information evening will be held at Melton Secondary College on Thursday 23rd November from 5.30 pm to approximately 6.15 pm. Information regarding BYOD, booklists and our Camping program will be provided.

Middle Sub School

Term 4 is an important time for students in the Middle Sub-school. For students in Year 10 it is a time for decisions in regards to pathways that will impact their future careers and prospects. They have a choice to follow a VCE or VCAL pathway and we ask parents to discuss this with their students to ensure they understand the choices they have made. For students in Year 9 they need to start selecting subjects that will guide them towards a career path of their choosing.

The Middle Sub-School will be reviewing student data from both semesters in order to make decisions for pathways for students. If you are concerned about your students’ progress, please contact the team at the Middle Sub-School to arrange a meeting.

Exams

Exams will be the focus of Term 4 and we encourage students to develop a revision program that will allow them to achieve success in these exams. This is particularly important for students in Year 10 as exams results play a pivotal role in making decisions in regards to pathways in Year 11.

The exams for both Year 9 and 10 will be held in Week 8 and an exam timetable will be handed out in the next few weeks.

Senior Sub School

We would like to wish our 2017 Yr12 students the very best wishes while finishing their time with MSC. Good luck with exams, job applications, university, TAFE and all the opportunities that present in your future.
