Please note the following expectations for year 11 students:

  • The attendance requirements for VCE/VCE-VM students is above 80%. If your child is absent, we request that you contact the school via one of the following:
    • The Absence Hotline 53817200
    • SEQTA Engage app - complete the online form
    • Contact your child’s Form Group teacher via SEQTA, phone call or a signed note.
  • Students have one study day each fortnight - the first study day will be on 14/2. Students will not be required to attend year 11 classes on these days, as they will not run. If students have a year 12 class they are expected to attend that class only. Students are welcome to work in the study centre on their study day. If students are in a VET course in 2024 they will be expected to attend VET every Wednesday unless alternative arrangements have been made by the VET provider. .
  • If students are absent due to illness and miss an assessment, they will need to provide a medical certificate. 

Please reach out to the Year 11 team on 53817111 if you have any questions or concerns. We are looking forward to a fantastic year and working with you all to achieve the best outcomes for your child.
