Year 12
Students and staff began the year with the camp at Federation University. Students enjoyed the experience of living on campus and a variety of activities to develop leadership skills, understanding of the requirements of Year 12 and friendships. Students also heard from past students who shared their experiences post school, ranging from those who went straight into work and apprenticeships and those who attended university. As a school community we are so proud of the achievements of our alumni and the students were appreciative of the time they took to share their experiences and advice. Students have now received their Year 12 jumpers and they look terrific. We look forward to a great year.
Year 11
Students in Year 11 have been welcomed to the senior school and all are undertaking the new VCE and VCE VM (Vocational Major) courses. Students undertaking a VET have started their offsite courses and are becoming familiar with the different venues, lectures and transit requirements of their new courses. The leap from middle school to senior school can be quite a challenge for some students. Please make sure you seek assistance from your sub school, the well being team and your teachers if you have any issues.
All Senior Students
It is essential that all students have joined the relevant Google Classrooms for each year level and for their classes. Important information will be posted on these platforms for students to access and act on. Students will need to activate their Edrolo account to access coursework for some subjects. Any students having issues with Edrolo are to speak to their YLC for assistance. In the coming days a few forms will be sent home for permission to be signed by carers. These will include some bus forms, permission to use photos in any media releases as well as some general check-up of details. Please bring these back to your YLC as soon as possible.
