VCE Units 3 and 4 Holiday Study Sessions
Important Information for Study Sessions
All sessions are two hours long.
No new content can be introduced.
Students must sign in at front desk. Once the session is over, students must sign out (ie they cannot stay onsite during the lunch break).
All sessions will be held in the Kildare building (Year 4 rooms). Students cannot leave this area. The Tolle Lege building is not accessible as there are works occurring with the J Wing.
At the end of Term 3, students should take home any study materials they may need for the sessions.
Toilets are available within the Kildare building.
Staff for each session will determine what will be covered, please speak to your teacher about this.
All information will be sent out to families via Operoo.
Please contact Katelyn McIntyre with any questions.
Hats
A reminder that, in line with our College Sun Protection Policy and College Uniform Guide, students are now required to wear their school hats when outside during recess and lunchtime and for outdoor activities.
Hats can be purchased from the College Office for $15 (cash or eftpos) or Workwear Connect in Allan Street, Kyabram.
Every Old Phone Counts - do you have one?
Our Years 7 and 8 Outdoor Education classes are supporting Zoos Victoria’s Fighting Extinction – They’re Calling on You campaign.
We are asking everyone to bring in old mobile phones, tablets and accessories (chargers, cords, etc.) that you no longer use.
Why? 🦍 Recycling these items helps reduce the need for mining materials that destroy animal habitats, protecting endangered species like gorillas.
Every phone makes a difference:
5 phones = health monitoring of a baby gorilla for a day
10 phones = petrol for vets to reach the forest
50 phones = anaesthetic for an injured gorilla
100 phones = rain gear so vets can work in bad weather
📱 Where to donate: Phones and accessories can be dropped into the collection box at one of the following boxes:
The College Office
Year 7 Space
If you can, please unlock phones and reset them to factory settings. More information on data security can be found at https://www.zoo.org.au/phone/
Every phone counts – together, we can make a difference! 💚
They're Calling On You | Zoos Victoria
No one knows exactly how many Eastern Lowland Gorillas survive in the wild, but with 8,500 believed to be remaining they are Critically Endangered. The survival of every gorilla counts. You can help gorillas in the wild simply by recycling your phones . Every phone raises funds to support the work of the Gorilla Doctors, who provide life-saving medical care.
Dental Van Visit
Martin Vale Dentistry will be visiting the College with their Mobile Dental Van from Monday 27th October (Week 4 of Term 4).
If you would like your child to participate, please complete the CDBS Consent Form either online or by using the attachment below, by the end of Term 3, Friday 19th September.
