Senior School  

Revision Time

We are almost at the end of Term 3!  This has been a very full term for our Senior School students, with most of the content being taught for Units

2 & 4 subjects in this term.  Students should feel very proud of themselves for their hard work during this time.  Holidays are now a time to consolidate the learning done in Term 3, ready for Term 4 and exams. 

Students completing a Unit 3 & 4 subjects are encouraged to attend the revision sessions during the first week of the September break to assist in their preparation for their final exams – a timetable is available on Compass and students have also been provided a hard copy of this timetable.  With a number of guest speakers, this will provide students with opportunities to refine their knowledge and skills.  Copies of the revision session timetable have been placed on Compass.  Students are also reminded that there are a number of sessions being conducted by the English and Maths associations over this holiday break.

English revision lectures (run by VATE – Victorian Association for the Teaching of English) – information available at: https://www.vate.org.au/srd/

Valedictory Dinner Reminder

Purchasing of Valedictory Dinner tickets will be available until 5pm on Monday 8 October.  We look forward to celebrating the achievements of the Class of 2018 with you.

 Year 11 

For our Year 11 students, the upcoming exam period will mirror the VCAA exams to best prepare the students for the rigours of Year 12.  They are encouraged to see these exams as an opportunity to trial their study habits and ability to recall a year’s worth of work.  Students experiencing difficulty are encouraged to seek the support of their teachers or of their coordinator.

Year 10 

Year 10 exams will also be conducted and will cover the semester’s content.  Students are reminded of the need to study and prepare appropriately for these exams.

On behalf of the Senior School team, we wish all members of the Scoresby Secondary College community a safe and restful break!

Forensic Science at KIOSC

Year 10 Science students were given the opportunity to go on an excursion to KIOSC to experience Forensic Science.

They adopted the role of trainee investigators and were given the task of assessing evidence in order to solve a crime.

Students performed a number of tests which included: interviewing witness, analysis of footprints, powders, finger prints, soil and blood. Students had to solve the cold case including when it occurred, who did it and with what weapon.  Students were thoroughly engaged and had an amazing opportunity using the latest technologies.
