Year 12 VCE & VCE-VM

The College’s Year 12 VCE and VCE -VM students will complete their final classes on Tuesday 22nd of October.

I want to acknowledge the students’ efforts and the way they have represented the College, not only this year, but throughout their time at school. Students should be extremely proud of their efforts, and the way they have collaborated with their teachers to succeed in the completion of their studies, but also in setting themselves up for success with their post-school pathways, whether that be in employment of further studies.

On behalf of the College community, I want to wish our scored VCE students sitting exams all the best, and hope that your efforts are reflected in your results and that you all achieve your goals.

Thank you also to the teachers who have supported the students not only this year but throughout their time at Horsham College.

Child Safe Standards

The Victorian Government requires that all schools incorporate the new Child Safe Standards to further strengthen child safety. The new standards recognise the critical importance of families and the broader school community in maintaining and promoting child safety and wellbeing.

Horsham College is in the process of reviewing and updating our child safety policies and procedures to ensure they meet the requirements of the new standards. These are available to view at the Horsham College Website > School Life > Policies.

We are committed to continuous improvement in our approach to child safety and wellbeing and welcome feedback from families and members of our school community on ways we can further strengthen our child safety policies, procedures, and practices.

If you have any suggestions, comments, or questions, regarding these, or any other policies, please contact a member of the Principal Class.
