Director of Learning & Teaching

👋 Welcome Back to 2025 Welcome back to the 2025 academic year! It has been wonderful to see students and teachers starting the year with such enthusiasm and focus. I have heard nothing but effusive praise for the way students have engaged with their studies, setting a strong foundation for the year ahead. 

📝 NAPLAN 2025 Annual  NAPLAN testing for Years 7 and 9 will commence on Wednesday, March 12. Attached is the NAPLAN parent information guide, which outlines key details about the testing process. If you wish to withdraw your child from NAPLAN, please contact me, Mr Tyler Fehsler (Year 7 Coordinator), or Mr Nathan Ough (Middle School Coordinator) for further advice. 

📖 VCE Student Handbook Each year, we update the VCE/VCE VM Student Handbook to reflect the policies and procedures governing the delivery of the VCE and VCE VM programs at Monivae College. This handbook is informed by the VCAA Administrative Handbook. 

These guidelines apply to all Year 11 and Year 12 students, in both the VCE and VCE VM programs, and ensures clarity around attendance, assessments, and academic integrity.  

Students and parents are encouraged to review the updated handbook to stay informed. 

🔎 Looking Ahead 

📌 Mid-Semester Reports will be published on Thursday, March 20. 

📌 Parent-Teacher Interviews will be held on Thursday, March 27—an excellent opportunity for families to discuss student progress and goals for the year. Further details about bookings will be provided closer to the date.
