Year 9 2022

The current Year 8's will soon select their Year 9 elective subjects for next year. Prior to this, there will be a Year 9 Program 2022 Parent and Student Information Evening on 6 September at 7.00 pm. This information evening will provide students and parents with an overview of the Year 9 Program at Marian College, including the City Camp and the Unplugged Program. It will also cover the elective subjects and the selection process. A letter outlining these details has been sent via Operoo and the Year 9 Program 2022 Handbook will be available on SEQTA Learn and Engage before the evening.  

VCE Trial Examinations and the GAT

The Marian College VCE Trial Examinations provide essential, realistic examination practice for students in their Unit 3/4 subjects. As communicated in the VCE expectations letter, Marian College Trial Examinations are compulsory for all students enrolled in a scored Unit 3/4 Study.

These examinations are scheduled for the second week of the forthcoming holidays. At this stage, we are still hopeful that these trial exams can proceed. We will keep students and families updated.  

The postponed General Achievement Test (GAT) is, at this time, scheduled for 9 September and all students studying a scored Unit 3/4 Study are required to complete this important assessment. 

We are proud of our Unit 3/4 students and the way they continue to focus on preparing for the GAT, Trial Examinations and the final VCAA Examinations in spite of the challenges and uncertainties thrown at them this year. We remind all of our students that of the other Victorian students are facing these challenges too.
