Year 11 Exams

Unit 1 exams will begin on Tuesday 11th June for Year 11 students and then continue into Week 8 of term. The exam timetable will be shared with students via Google Classroom and a hard copy will be placed outside the Senior Sub School office.

We encourage students to speak with their teachers about revision techniques and how to be prepared for these upcoming exams. Students are reminded to be organised in their planning for revision and materials when the exams are occurring, all stationary required for the exam should be bought to the exam alongside a clear drink bottle.

If Year 11 students have any clashes with their exams and a Unit 3 & 4 class, they need to speak with a Year Level Coordinator as soon as possible to arrange a catch-up exam time.

Only VCE students are to sit exams.  VCE VM students will complete a week of certificates in RSA, Food Handling, Coffee Barista and First Aid.  A program for this week will be forward to students in the coming days.

Practice GAT

Senior students attended the practice GAT on Thursday 16th May.  Students mirrored the timing, seating and arrangements of the actual day.  Students all gained valuable insight into what to expect in the real thing and how to better prepare moving forward.

Year 12 ISP arrangements

Starting in Term 3 - Year 12 students will have the privilege of signing in late or out early if they have Independent Study Periods in the morning or afternoon.  Students will shortly receive information on Compass around the process, with parents needing to provide consent through the portal once information has been read. Once a student has been given consent, the Senior Sub-School Office (SSSO) will issue students with their ISP leave pass.  This ISP arrangement is a privilege and not a right.  If the SSS team have an indication that students are not using their time wisely, they will lose access to this privilege.

Uniform 

As we are coming into colder weather students are reminded to follow the uniform policy and wear the school uniform with pride. If you need any assistance with your winter uniform, please speak with your Year Level Coordinator or Homeroom Teacher.
