Year 11 and 12 News 

Exam Week 11th to 14th June

1. Year 11 & 12 VCE

On Tuesday, June 11th, the Year 11 and Year 12 VCE students will begin their June practice exams. All students undertaking a VCE subject have an individual timetable created in Compass that indicates the day, time, location, and exam that they will be completing.

Students are only required at school during exam week for their scheduled exams. Students are, however, able to come to school and study in the Study Hall. Exams have been divided into two sessions, for each day. Session one starts at 8.30 am and concludes at 10.30 am. Session two starts at 11.00 am and concludes at 1.00 pm. All students will need to arrive at least 10 minutes before the exams start so that they are seated in the exam room and ready to start reading at 8.30 am and 11.00 am. 

Students are reminded to bring appropriate equipment to the exams – for example, a dictionary for English exams and a calculator for Math exams. All students will need to bring blue or black pens to write on the exam papers. Students may also bring pencils, highlighters and a ruler if required. These items can be carried into the exam room in a clear plastic bag.

Students are encouraged to bring a bottle of water, which must be clear and without a label or writing. They will not be allowed to leave the exam room for a drink. 

If a student is unable to complete an exam on the scheduled day, there is the opportunity to reschedule the exam after the consultation with the VCE Coordinators. 

2. VCE VM, VPC, VET & TAFE 

During the VCE exam week, VM and VPC students who have unfinished tasks and outcomes will be required to attend catch-up classes which will be running on Tuesday 11th June and Thursday 13th June.

All VET/TAFE classes will be running as normal and students are required to attend their normal scheduled classes that day. Work placement will also be happening as normal during exam week. 

Students who have completed all assessment tasks and outcomes for Unit 1 or Unit 3 will not be required to attend on Tuesday or Thursday, as normal classes will not be running. 

Parents will be notified by SMS if their child is required to attend school.

Students who have been advised to attend, must attend the catch-up classes as this places them at risk of not successfully meeting outcomes for their VM or VPC course.

Senior Netball

Kurnai College entered two senior teams into this year’s School Sports Victoria Wellington Division Netball Competition. Students travelled to Sale on Wednesday 29th May to compete and put their training to the test. Both teams did tremendously well and came away with more wins than losses for the day. Great team spirit was shown by all participants and some true netball talent from our campus was realised. Thanks to staff member Rachelle for coordinating the event and to our team captains Andy, Brayden, Olivia and Mia who all showed great leadership prior to and on the day. Special thanks to all the students who participated, for commitment to their team and for doing their school and coach proud, well done!
