Awards Presentation Evening

On Tuesday 2 December, we were pleased to acknowledge the many achievements of our students across the year at the 2025 Awards Presentation Evening.

It was a pleasure to welcome so many proud families to our Auditorium, where we enjoyed impressive presentations from Noah A (Year 12 2026), who performed a music piece and Kristian S (Year 8 2026), who exhibited his stellar Public Speaking talents. 

Congratulations to all our award winners and our performers! 

I would like to thank all those who make the night possible.

• To the families of our students who support behind the scenes to help their boys achieve their personal best. 
• To all teachers and staff who provide the opportunities for our students to shine. Our students continue to amaze us with their abilities on a daily basis; which is all made possible thanks to the dedication and support of our staff. 
• To all those who do the background work - determining the award winners, managing the communication and organisational support, and the Maintenance, AV and ICT Departments who work to make this event such a memorable experience.
• To our presenters and staff in attendance, thank you for being there to both acknowledge and support the students in person. 

Thank you everyone - it is truly a community contribution that makes for such a wonderful College event.

2026 Unit 3/4 Compulsory Trial Exam Period

Acknowledging that the 2025 exams have recently concluded, it is an important time to communicate to families the Trial Exam Period for Unit 3/4 students in 2026. 

The Term 3 holidays is the time when Trial Exams for the VCE Final Exams take place. These exams are compulsory for all students undertaking a VCE Unit 3/4 subject. Commencing Thursday 24 September, the trial exams will run through to the end of the following week (Friday 2 October). There are no Trial Exams on Friday 25 September which is a public holiday.

The purpose of these Trial Exams is to prepare students for the final VCE Exams in late October/November. On completion of the Trial Exams, students receive important feedback on performance- affirmation, correction of misconceptions and areas of challenge to work on- to ensure they are prepared for the final exams. With final VCE Exams constituting around 50% of the total grade in most subjects, the importance of having students perform at their absolute best when the time comes cannot be overstated. 

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us here at the College. 

My best wishes to you and your families for a happy and Holy Christmas.
