Team Leader's Message

Term 1

Secondary 11/12 students have had a positive start to 2025. It has started off particularly busy enrolling in VET courses and beginning Thursday Work Programs including attending Bunnings, Brunswick Industries and Industry Exploration. 

Year 11 students also attended their Melbourne City experience Camp.  This provided students with wonderful opportunities for personal growth whilst getting to know their peers and staff. This experience also went towards providing evidence for achieving their Personal Development Skills Learning Outcomes.  

Students and Staff travelled on public transport into the City to explore all that Melbourne has to offer and discover why it is one of the most visited cities in the world.  Students collaboratively investigated the venues we attended and made all the necessary preparations for the event to make sure it was enjoyable for everyone.  Staying 2 nights at our centrally located hotel we travelled all over the city on public transport and on foot.  Students enjoyed attending venues such as Holey Moley Mini Golf, The Old Melbourne Gaol and Melbourne River Boat Cruises. On the final day students had the opportunity to attend Beauty and the Beast the Musical, this was a crowd favourite. 

Year 12 students have started out the year exploring several post school options before attending the Careers Expo with their families to help make some informed decisions about what they want to do once they leave school at the end of the year.  Our Expo had over 20 providers in attendance, all keen to get our students on board with their programs. The Expo provided our families with information and ideas to assist them to make informed choices, with the guidance of our Transitions team, (Natalie and Bronwyn) about where to next for their child during 1:1 Transition meetings being held over the coming weeks.
