Year 12 students have had a busy and productive Term 2 with various academic and extracurricular activities. They have been completing SACs (VCE) & ALATs (VCE VM) along with the House Athletics, Music Festival, VCE Elevate Educate seminar, VCE Careers Expo & Interschool Sport. These activities not only help in academic development but also promote teamwork, physical fitness, creativity, and career readiness among the students. The photos included below capture some of the moments from these events.

 

A reminder that the GAT (General Achievement Test) is on Tuesday 18th June. All students required to complete the GAT will undertake an information session preceding the GAT to familiarise themselves with the process. The VCE VM session will be Thursday 6th June during period 4 & the VCE session will be Friday 7th June during period 3. Students will also receive a GAT timetable & booklet closer to these sessions.
