Head of Senior School Report

Head of Senior School 

It's spring and that means footy finals time but more importantly for the Cobram AGS Senior School it's the business end of the academic season, especially for our Year 12 students.

With most of our outcomes drawing to a close, exam preparation is well and truly taking precedence and our students are ramping up their study in readiness for a big finish. Taking some time out of a study schedule for recreation is important and this was evident on the 22nd of August when the Senior School came together for a very successful formal held at 'The Shack' at Thompson's beach. The Year 12's did an excellent job of putting together a fantastic evening that really highlighted the strong sense of community that we are so proud of. The formal raised money for drought relief and brought together current and past students to celebrate being part of Cobram AGS.  During the evening which was full of dancing along with an alarming amount of photo's, student River Loizou gave the DJ a break and performed some of his self styled raps and Angelina Voeurn was lucky enough to win the big hamper in the raffle. 

In other Senior School news a small group of students attended the fantastic 'Big day In' at Wangaratta on the 4th of September. The event was held to showcase the different career paths possible for those interested in technology. Speakers included people who get paid to 'hack' for a living, representatives from technology firms and even the military. It was a great opportunity to discover what an amazing variety of occupations await those with an interest in STEM subjects. 

On the subject of subjects! We are currently finalising what our VCE program will consist of in 2020 after gathering and analysing all of the preference forms. It is an exciting time and we very much look forward to making some formal announcements in the very near future!
