Learning and Teaching

Step Up Program:                                                         Wednesday, 27 November to Thursday, 5 November

Our Step Up Program has started very well, with a positive and excited energy around Senior Campus yesterday as students began their new classes. Not surprisingly, there was some trepidation and nervousness about new teachers and classes, and it was great to hear many supportive and excited student conversations about these new experiences. I encourage all students and families who are unsure about a subject to approach the lessons during step up with curiosity and an open mind so that any subject changes are well considered. Our focus at the College is to ensure the development of a breadth and depth of knowledge, and this needs to include subjects that are different, new or offer a way to view the world from a range of perspectives. This luxury we have at school is harder to attain once we have moved out into the world. 

Senior School Booklists 

Year 7 – 12 Booklists have been finalised and are available via Campion. All families should receive correspondence today regarding accessing and placing an order for the 2025 school year. The key date to remember is Sunday 22 December, all orders placed by this date will be able to be filled ready for the school year. 

Senior School Edrolo 

I recently shared information regarding the provision of Edrolo for students in some subjects in Years 7 – 12 in 2025. If your child used Edrolo in 2024, their account is live, and the enrolment process for 2025 subjects can start. For students who have not used Edrolo before, we are still finalising the details of the rollover of new student information with the provider. We will be in touch when that is complete so that new students can sign up to access their resources. Thank you for being so patient as we work through this process. 

As always, if you have any questions or need to speak with me, please email me at arobertson@hamiltoncollege.vic.edu.au.
