Important Year 10 Dates
We are very excited to confirm dates for the Year 10 Melbourne City Camp and Year 10 Formal. The Year 10 Camp will take place from Wednesday 25th October to Friday 27th October 2023. The focus of this camp is on building students' capability to use public transport, connecting students with higher education providers and enjoying some of the attractions of our state capital. The much anticipated Year 10 Formal will take place on Friday 10th of November. Both the Melbourne City Camp and the Year 10 Formal are compulsory school events and all students are expected to attend. If families have any concerns over their students' ability to attend, for any reason, I encourage you to contact me as soon as possible. In many cases, we can make adjustments and allowances to support all students to access these events in some capacity. Please mark these dates in your diaries. Students who are employed are advised to notify their employers of their unavailability on these dates.
Furphy Literary Award Place Winner!!
It is with great pride that I can announce that Year 10 student Charlotte Seddon was awarded third place for her story "The Taxi Man" and a highly commended for her story "A Small Bump" at the recent Furphy Literary Awards. Charlotte entered two short stories in the Youth category. The Furphy Literary Award is a competitive national writing competition that attracts entries from both published and novice writers. Congratulations to Charlotte on this very impressive achievement!

Reminders about expectations
Pastoral Group attendance
Students should arrive at school in time to attend pastoral group each morning commencing at 8.55am. This is an important part of the day and a time for prayer and reflection. Teachers are able to follow-up with students and check in on how they are doing. Daily messages are delivered to students at this time. It is vital that the school completes accurate records for attendance and the roll is marked during this session.
Uniform
It is expected that students wear the correct academic uniform to school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday students are permitted to wear their PE uniform, again this should be the full correct uniform including the St Anne’s tracksuit pants or shorts. Year 10 students completing the sports coaching elective are permitted to wear their PE uniform on Thursday in addition to the above.
Use of air pods and mobile phones
Students are not permitted to use air pods or mobile phones while at school. These items are to be left in students lockers during the school day. Parents are asked not to ring their child’s mobile phone while they are at school or expect them to receive text messages. If you need to get a message to your child during the school day, please contact the front office who will deliver the message on your behalf.
Your support on these matters is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Sarah Baglin & Meredith Lia (SOP Leaders)

If a student was away, please see the VCE Coordinator for a hard copy. We advise students to retain the VCE Exams Navigator 2023 until they obtain their VCE results.
