Report from Assistant Principal Jason Tickner
Term 3 Progress Reports
Progress reports are available for viewing from Thursday, 19th September in Compass. Progress reports provide feedback on how your child’s learning behaviors across all subjects. It is important for parents to spend the time to discuss this information with your child, including areas of celebration, and/or areas of possible improvement. Doing this provides an opportunity for students to reflect upon their academic progress in Term 3 and modify their goals for the term ahead. Attached is a guide parent guide for how to access your child’s report via Compass.
VCE Exam Revision
VCE students who are planning to sit end of year exams will be required to complete trial exams in the first week of the holiday period. These trial exams will provide students with an opportunity to test their knowledge and skills across the study design in each of their subjects. More broadly, the experience will give our students an opportunity to hone their time management, and coping skills under exam conditions.
It is mandatory for students to attend trial exams. Parents, should encourage and assist their child to attend these exams. To support and assist our VCE students sitting VCAA exams there are several external revision seminars, which can support exam preparation. Some of these programs are free of charge and others charge a fee. The links below will take students to some of the more popular VCE examination seminars.
