Year 12 News
The year continues to throw us a lot curve balls, but I am so proud of the way that our young people continue to work toward their goals and obviously the end of the year. Working remotely has many challenges for all of us, but it is lovely to meet with students and parents during this period of stage 4 restrictions. Seeing and speaking to our Year 12 students and parents (albeit through google meets), gives me the feeling that together we will really get through this year and come out at the end with lots of fantastic future opportunities for our students.
On Wednesday 7th October at 10.00am all Year 12 students and Year 10 and 11 students completing a Unit 3 / 4 subject will complete the General Achievement Test (GAT). Students will need to be in full school uniform, have photo ID on them and be at the school no later than 9.30am. Now is the time for students to prepare for this examination. Along with accessing the first link below, students should also go through the power point that was put into the Year 12 google classroom. The power point provides excellent information and strategies on completing the GAT.
Students are going to be sent the VCAA advice slips for the GAT along with the Navigator in the mail. The VCAA 2020 Navigator has some very important information in it regarding material and resources that are allowed in not only the GAT but also the end of year examinations, amongst other things. Upon receiving these documents, I encourage all students and parents to read them carefully. I have also put the link to the online version of the Navigator below.
I am super excited to see the Year 12 students early next term. I miss them very much.
Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding any issues with your son/daughter.
