YEAR 10 PARENT INFORMATION EVENING – 6.30pm WEDNESDAY 18 JULY
I am looking forward to meeting Year 10 parents at our Information Evening on Wednesday 18 July in the Senior School. The evening will commence at 6.30 pm and parents and students are most welcome to attend. The purpose of the evening is to provide an overview of the best practice regarding VCE program selection, and to hear from and meet VCE subject teachers to discover more about the subjects and programs on offer in the senior school.
This is a very important information evening, as Year 10 students commence the process of course counselling and VCE subject selection. Thank you to Mrs Carolyn Walsh for overseeing and organising this program and evening.
YEAR 12 EXAMS
Thank you to our supervisors, in particular our Chief Supervisor Mrs Bev Valentine, for administering the Year 12 exams and GAT over the past two weeks. Our students’ behaviour was exemplary.
YEAR 11 EXAMS
Year 11 students have just completed two weeks of end of semester exams in all studies. Thank you to our teachers for preparing, supervising and marking the exams; providing valuable feedback to the students on their progress to date. Thank you also to Mr Aaron Elias and Ms Clare Challenger for organising and overseeing the exams.
END OF SEMESTER REPORTS
End of semester reports will be available online at the beginning of Term 3. This is a comprehensive report detailing your child’s progress for the first half of the year. It provides families with the opportunity to celebrate achievements and develop an action plan for future improvement. If parents have any enquiries concerning their child’s progress, please do not hesitate to contact the subject teachers or Year Level Coordinators.
YEAR 12 FORMAL
Congratulations to our Year 12 students on a very successful Year 12 Formal on Wednesday 13 June at the Mornington Racecourse. It was a wonderful night and an excellent way to finish and celebrate the end of semester one.
The students’ behaviour was outstanding and many were still dancing when the night concluded at 11.00 pm. Thank you to Ms Nicole Filippou and Mr Simon Cameron for their excellent organisation of the evening. Thank you also to the staff who attended: Mr John Albiston, Ms Nicole Filippou, Mr Simon Cameron, Mrs Carolyn Walsh, Ms Suzanne Caldwell, Ms Kylie Williams, Mr Aaron Elias, Ms Clare Challenger, Mr Travis de Valle and Ms Kirsten Bakker.
THANK YOU TO SENIOR SCHOOL TEACHERS
As first semester draws to a close, I would like to thank the senior school teachers for their excellent work and commitment to the students over the semester. Their tireless hours of work, both in and out of the classroom, to ensure students maximise their learning outcomes and performance is outstanding!
Finally, I would like to wish all students and parents a pleasant and relaxing holiday. It is an excellent opportunity to “recharge the batteries” ready for what will be a very important Term 3.
