CHRISTMAS IN JULY
Our VET Certificate III Make-up students were required to create a 'seasonal' merchandise display to achieve competency in the unit 'Produce Visual Merchandise Displays'. After the students were given the theme 'Christmas in July' and a few props to work with, they then set to work collaboratively planning and designing their display.
I believe the students have excelled in this area and covered everything from constructing a planogram to cleverly creating intricate little sticky price labels for individual items.
The display will remain in place in the Salon ‘shop’ window for the next two weeks, allowing students the time to not only rotate and replenish stock but also to maintain the appearance of the display. Well done to all the students in Certificate III in Make-up.

PAM - EXCURSION PERMISSIONS
For excursions requiring permissions, the College will now be seeking consent for some excursions via the Parent Access Module (PAM). If your child is involved in an excursion, you will receive an email notification and instructions on how to complete the form on PAM. If you require your PAM log in details again or require a password reset, please contact Ms Danielle Virgona at the College on (03)5018 8000.
REPORTS
Reports have now been updated to include exam results. You can access the updated reports on PAM. Year 9 students will hopefully have gained some valuable insights into the exam process and hopefully the importance of starting a study routine early to consolidate the learning that has occurred in class.
While exams are a small component of assessment in Years 9 and 10 they do become more important if students progress to VCE. With this in mind we hope all of our Year 9 to 11 use the exam process as a learning experience.

Director of Learning and Teaching
