Assistant Principal's Report

Attendance - Everyday Counts

It was great to see the number of students who are making the most of their learning opportunities by attending every day in Term 2. There are also a number of students who have not missed a day of school this year.

The Year 12 students are leading the way with 37% of Year 12 students attended every day in Term 2 and 26% of Year 12 students have attended every day for Semester One.

The Year 11 had a very good attendance percentage for Term 2 with 24% of the cohort attending every day for Term 2.

I would like to congratulate the following students who attended every school day in Term 2.

Information Nights

Planning for 2022 has begun. To ensure parents are well informed we will be holding Information Nights early Term 3. Please see the dates below:

Year 11 and 12 2022 (current Year 10 and Year 11 students) – Tuesday 27 July

Year 9 and 10 2022 (current Year 8 and Year 9 students) – Tuesday 3 August

Please be aware that subject selection forms will be due shortly after the information nights. As with previous years, students will be required to submit $100 towards the materials cost of the subjects they select.

Respectful Relationships

Recent media reporting has highlighted the issues of consent, sexual assault, and gender inequality, and these issues are critically important. Our College, in partnership with parents and carers, has an important role to play in addressing these significant social issue.

Respectful Relationships is a College Community responsibility where we strive to further embed a culture of respect and gender equality across our entire College Community. We are proud to be a Lead School in supporting other school communities in the area of Respectful Relationships.

We also teach Respectful Relationships as part of the Victorian Curriculum, which focuses on building students’ social and emotional skills by supporting them to recognise and regulate emotions, develop empathy for others and build and manage safe and respectful relationships (including understanding consent). Our College provides sexuality education as part of the Health and Physical Education curriculum.

Consent Education is vital, and the State Education Minister, Mr. James Merlino, has made it clear that all schools have a responsibility to cover this area with students. We are working with faculty and other leaders within the College to best address this area with students.

Please contact the College on 9765 4100 should you have any queries.

Please contact 1800 RESPECT or visit www.1800RESPECT.org.au if you or someone you know is impacted by sexual assault and / or violence, and needs support.
