Year 11 Report 

Welcome to the Final Newsletter for Term 2 😊 

It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the end of Term 2—this term has absolutely flown by and has certainly been a busy one for our Year 11 students. 

Last week, our Year 11 VCE students completed their end-of-semester exams. I am incredibly proud of how well they prepared themselves, managed their schedules around exam clashes, and conducted themselves with maturity throughout the entire process. 

Their organisation and respectful behaviour are a true credit to them—and a sign of the growth we’re seeing across the cohort.

Student Leadership Shout Out – Ruby Merrett 

A big shoutout to our wonderful Year 11 Student Leader, Ruby Merrett, for giving up her time over the past few weeks to present at our senior school assemblies. 

Ruby recently attended a staff Professional Learning Day where she learned about a teaching strategy, we use called chunking—a method that helps break down information into manageable parts to support learning. 

Ruby then took the initiative to share this technique with her peers, helping students better understand how they can use it in their own study. This is a fantastic example of student advocacy and leadership in action here at Woodman’s Hill Secondary College. 

Well, done, Ruby—we’re proud of your efforts and commitment! 

Uniform Reminder for Term 3 

As mentioned in previous newsletters, we kindly ask families to use the upcoming school holidays as an opportunity to ensure students return in full and correct academic uniform at the start of Term 3. 

Wearing the correct uniform helps promote a strong sense of pride and belonging across our Senior school community and also keep all students recognisable and safe in the instance of an emergency. 

Please remember that hoodies, tracksuit pants, flared leggings and non-school jackets including hoodies are not permitted as part of the academic uniform. If items are wet, or not available please ensure you write your child a note and they come to the senior school office at the start of the day and get a uniform pass. 

If your child requires support in obtaining uniform items, please don’t hesitate to contact myself the senior school office or your homegroup teacher—we’re here to help. 

Upcoming Events – Weeks 10 & 11 

Thank you for a wonderful Term 2. I hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved holiday—rest up, stay safe, and I look forward to seeing you all back for an exciting Term 3!
