Year News: VCE

It’s been a busy start for the Year 11 students in VCE. Students have taken part in their verification tests for all subjects as well as completing their English Oral Presentations.

Progress Reports

In senior school, Individual student performance will be monitored and reported every three weeks by their teacher. Parents can access these via compass reports. This will ensure parents are informed of their child’s progress, get regular feedback and identify any concerns that may arise.

SACs and Redemption Process

All students are required to complete SACs (School Assessed Coursework) to meet their outcomes and requirements for VCE. Students are required to hand in their coursework 48 hours prior to a SAC. If the student does not hand in their coursework by the due date, and they do not reach the 50% requirement on their assessment task they will receive an N for that outcome and an N for the Unit. 

Parents can access all SAC dates via compass calendar and they will also get notifications of missing coursework leading up to SAC dates. 

Redemption allows students to ‘redeem’ the task and have a second opportunity to pass the assessment task and meet the outcome. Redemption is scheduled on Monday’s afterschool from 3:15-4:15 and parents will be notified if their child is required to attend redemption.

Homework Club

Homework club runs every Wednesday from 3:00-4:00pm in the yellow study space. Students can get extra assistance from their teachers during this time or catch up on any outstanding coursework.

Parents and Compass

Compass is a great tool for communication with the College. Parents can access Compass for the following:

• Approve and give reasons for absences
• Monitor student progress by viewing learning tasks for each subject
• Access progress reports (every 3 weeks)
• Accessing the Compass Calendar for VCE SAC dates / important dates
• Approve excursions and incursions that need parent permission
• Email and communicate with teachers

If parents do not have their password, please contact the College.
