VCE News

As you enter the final week before the VCE exams begin, we encourage all students to stay focused, maintain their revision routines and make the most of the time remaining. This is an important opportunity to consolidate learning, ask teachers any final questions and ensure exam preparations are on track.
Remember that effective revision includes taking regular breaks, getting enough sleep, eating well and maintaining a positive mindset. While it is natural to feel nervous, trust in your preparation and the effort you have put in throughout the year.
We wish all our Year 12 students the very best for their upcoming exams. Approach each exam calmly, read each question carefully and give yourself the best opportunity to demonstrate what you know. Your hard work and perseverance have brought you to this point, and we are proud of your efforts.
Good luck, Year 12 – you’ve got this!
VCE Exams
A reminder that for most Year 12 VCE students, their first exam is the VCE English exam, which will take place in the Federation University Auditorium on Tuesday 27 October. The exam starts at 9.00 am; however, all students should arrive at least 30 minutes before the start time. Arriving early will allow students to check where they are sitting, settle in and prepare themselves for the exam without feeling rushed.
Students should ensure they have all the required materials, including pens, pencils and any other permitted equipment. Please check your Navigator booklet for more details for each subject. It is important to follow all examination rules and listen carefully to the instructions provided by supervisors.
Year 11 VCE
With Year 11 VCE exams approaching, students are encouraged to begin their final preparations by reviewing key content, completing practice questions and seeking support from their teachers where needed. Establishing a manageable revision routine now will help build confidence and reduce stress as exams draw closer.
Headstart
Headstart is also an important opportunity for students to experience their Year 12 subjects, understand the expectations of the year ahead and begin building the skills and knowledge they will need for success. We encourage all students to approach Headstart with a positive attitude, participate actively and make the most of this valuable learning experience.
Remember to balance revision with rest, maintain good study habits and take responsibility for your learning. The effort you put in now will help you finish Year 11 strongly and start Year 12 with confidence.
All the best for all VCE students with the next stage of their pathway.
