Permission forms were sent home this week and need to be returned with medical forms and payments by the end of week 2 next term if students are to attend. Please contact the school ASAP if you have not received these forms or are having any troubles with camp preparation.

Junior Sub-School Rewards Program

This week students from Year 7 and 8 are being recognised and rewarded for their exceptional efforts across the progress report areas this semester. These student have exemplified the College values of Respect, Excellence, Achievement and Diversity in many areas of their day to day conduct. As reward, these students will be enjoying a movie session at the conclusion of the term.

It has been a great term in the Junior Sub-School that has included many great moments such as the Deakin University excursions, House Sports Competition, the GROWTH program and many more. All our student have earned a big break and we wish them and all the families and friends of our wider community a fun and safe holiday.

'About You' Survey

What is ‘About You’?

‘About You’ is a survey of Victoria’s young people, conducted by Colmar Brunton on behalf of the Department of Education and Training. The About You survey takes place in Victorian schools and collects essential information on the health, wellbeing, learning and safety of young people aged 12 to 17.

Government schools with students in Years 7, 8, 10 and 11 are being invited to participate in the survey in 2019. The information collected will assist in the development of programs, resources and services aimed at meeting the needs of young Victorians. 

Who will participate?

All students in Year 7, 8, 10 and 11 will be invited to participate in the survey from our school.

It is up to you and your child as to whether they take part. The school will send an information letter explaining the background and content of the survey, along with a refusal-of-consent form home with your child, and to your email address. If you do not want your child to be included in the study, you should return the refusal-of-consent form to the school, or opt out via the email address that will be supplied. All responses are voluntary and students can opt out at any time.

For further information, please contact Gillian Davenport at the Department of Education and Training via email AboutYou.Survey@edumail.vic.gov.au
