DEPUTY PRINCIPAL LEARNING AND TEACHING

Once again we start the year hoping we can get back to some normality. Whilst I believe the college has responded admirably given the circumstances of the last two years, we very much hope this is a year that is full of routine and consistency. 

VCE RESULTS 

We acknowledge that 2020 and 2021 were difficult years, yet we still had some very pleasing results. For example, we saw growth in the percentage of students who received an ATAR of 80 or more compared to 2020.

And an increase in our 70+ ATAR’s compared to 2020.

We have done very well when comparing our results with the results of other local schools. This is a testament to the strategic decisions made in regard to remote learning by the school executive and the enormous effort of the teachers, students, and the wider school community in what was a very difficult year.

PARENT ACCESS MODULE (PAM) AND YEAR 7 INTRODUCTORY REPORT 

Associated with the Year 7 Parent Teacher meetings on Wednesday February 23, an Introductory Report was completed by teachers for the Year 7 students. Just a reminder that Reports are only accessible via Parent Access Module (PAM), hence the need to be familiar with PAM. 

The Parent Access Module is also critical for a number of other communications between the college and families, for example updating medical information before students are permitted to attend overnight excursions. If you are uncertain about how to use PAM, you are more than welcome to contact your child's Homeroom teacher, who can show you how to access and use PAM effectively. Alternatively, please contact college reception and request an appointment with either myself, or our Director of Learning and Teaching (Mr Emmet Brown).
