The college offers internal scholarships of $1,500 to Year 10 students transitioning into Year 11 at the college. These internal scholarships recognise students who have shown excellence both in their academic and personal school life.

TERM 3 HOLIDAYS – YEAR 12 PRACTICE EXAM CYCLE
We know one of the most effective ways to improve student results in VCE is for students to complete and receive feedback on as many practice exams as possible. Therefore, we are running a formal Year 12 practice exam cycle during the first three days of the Term 3 holidays.
These will be run just like the actual Year 12 exams. We will employ invigilators to supervise the exams, and the exact conditions as those for the VCAA exams will apply to this practice exam cycle. Students will be given an exam timetable and expected to be in full college uniform.
We are expecting Year 12 students will be able to make the most of this opportunity and consequently improve their VCE results. The full practice exam schedule details can be found within the document attached below.
