Dear Parents/Carers and Students
Uniform Expectations
During Term 4, the Winter or Summer uniform can be worn until Melbourne Cup Day. Summer uniform must only be worn after Melbourne Cup Day. Students must not wear a combination of summer and winter uniforms, e.g. winter tights cannot be worn with summer dress.
A friendly reminder that students must follow the Uniform Policy and not wear jewellery (only one small ear piercing and a watch) and the length of summer dresses must be appropriate for school, with the length no shorter than top of knee.
Attendance
Middle School students are expected to attend school each day and attend classes on time with a fully charged laptop and materials for class. Student absences must be recorded in Compass.
Please see our School Expectations here
Exams
All Year 9 and 10 students are required to participate in Semester 2 exams for English, Maths and Science on Wednesday 20 November and Thursday 21 November.
Students will only be required to attend school for their exams as per the below schedule.
Exam sessions and room locations will also appear on Compass in the lead up to the exams.
Year 10 students studying a Year 11 VCE subject will need to check the Year 11 exam schedule also.
At home, students can be supported by implementing the following recommendations:
- Providing a quiet study space at home free from distractions
- Encouraging your child to eat well and get plenty of sleep
- Encouraging students to limit social engagements around exam time, including their use of social media. Students should focus solely on their studies, without distraction from social media.
Students will participate in an exam information session prior to exams to go over all important information and PowerPoint resources from these sessions can be provided to parents/carers via compass.
Early Commencement
Students will transition to the next year level from Monday 25 November. All students are expected to attend early commencement classes.
