Homework Club / Study Hall

To support Melton Secondary College’s vision of a flourishing learning community, achieving high levels of academic growth and bright futures for every student, we run a Homework Club and Study Hall Program after school.

Homework Club:

Homework Club is in the library on Mondays (3.10-4.30pm) and Wednesdays (2.30-4.00pm). Students who have incomplete homework or classwork may be asked by their teacher to attend Homework Club so that they can get additional support to catch up. Students are also welcome to attend Homework Club whenever they would like additional support with their school work.

Study Hall:

Study Hall is in T2 on Tuesdays and Thursdays (3.30-4.30pm). Students who have not successfully completed important Assessment Tasks will be directed by their teacher to attend Study Hall. The teacher will notify the student of this and will attempt to notify you. If your child is enrolled in Study Hall you will be able to see this on Compass. We want every student to make strong academic progress and successful completion of assessment tasks is important for demonstrating this progress. If a student has not completed their assessment task and does not attend Study Hall, they will be issued with the consequence of an after school detention. If your child is unable to attend Study Hall due to other commitments, please make alternate arrangements with your child’s teacher, for the completion of the assessment task.

It has been great to see many students receive STARR awards for their focus, hard work and effort in the classroom so far this year. We look forward to continuing to celebrate this success and the academic progress of our students.

2019 ACE Program Applications

Round 2 Applications are now open for the 2019 (ACE) Accelerated Curriculum and Enrichment Program at Melton Secondary College. This application round is for students who are currently in year 6 and wish to apply for a position in the 2019 year 7 ACE class.

The ACE Program is an exciting program which caters for the educational needs of advanced, gifted and talented learners. Classes in this program cover coursework at a faster pace and in a much more challenging learning environment. Curriculum Enrichment encourages the study of more complex and abstract concepts, with a greater emphasis on higher order thinking skills such as analysing, evaluating, creating, and recognizing relationships.

Students who have completed the application and paid the online $50 fee will sit the ACE test at Melton Secondary College on Thursday 22nd November.
