VCE News and Key Dates

VCE Skills Sessions

The school will be facilitating skill sessions from “Elevate Education” in Term 1 for VCE students. These sessions will be offered to nominated students from Years 11 & 12 (VM where appropriate & VCE).

Teachers will nominate students for different sessions where they see a need, but I have also given students the opportunity to self-nominate. Students will then be chosen, contacted via email and the event placed on their Compass for an approved absence from regular class.

If you think your child would benefit from any of the below, please encourage them to sign up this weekend!
