Senior sub school

With the year rapidly coming to a close, our Year 11s and Year 12s could not be in more different positions.

Reflection and celebration for Year 12s

For our Year 12s, their final exams are coming to an end and for them, it is a time for reflection and celebration for all the work and effort they have put in over their six years of secondary education. Just as importantly, students must acknowledge the impact of the relationships they have built with teachers and their peers; relationships that have helped, supported and sustained them throughout their formative years.

The  VCE results will be released on Friday December 15. This is a time of great excitement, and for many, trepidation. Kylie Witt will be on hand to support any students who may need guidance around post-secondary options and change of preference needs. Please see Kylie’s article for more information.

The crowning social event for the Year 12 students is the Formal, taking place at the Aquarium on Friday November 24. Both students and teachers alike are looking forward to one last celebration and the opportunity to say thank you and goodbye.

We wish the Year 12s all the best in their future endeavours and thank you for their time at Northcote High School.

Year 11s prepare for 2018

The Year 11s have been diligently undertaking their end of year exams, coupled with those who have completed their Unit 3/4 external exams. For them, it is a great chance to consider their process and work habits, not just for exams, but for their upcoming year. We have been really pleased with the way students are positioning themselves for their final year of secondary schooling and encourage them to prepare comprehensively over the holidays.

Some upcoming dates for Year 11s

Course Confirmation:

Students have received their specific time to come in for course confirmation on Monday, 27th of November. To ensure that your student has the full time allocated, please make sure you arrive ten minutes early to complete paperwork prior to your interview. See the article 'Course Confirmation' in this newsletter for more details.

Year 12 Orientation:

The Year 12 Orientation will take place on December 6-8. Students will be able to pick up their orientation timetable during their course confirmation. Students will be given holiday tasks to complete over their break to best prepare them for the year ahead.
