Senior School News
What's happening in Years 10, 11 and 12.
Senior School update
It’s been a big term for the senior students. They have settled into their studies and most have produced some really great work.
Year 12 Team building excursion- this was a great day out. The students raced around the city finding clues and making good relationships with their peers and teachers. The victors were Sebastian, Muqeet, Rowan and Ashirya. They then got to visit the Glenroy Learning Hub to see what it offers to support them with their studies.
Swimming carnival- students were dressed in their team colours and team spirit was high. There were some great swimming efforts and the year 12s went all out getting dressed up.
Study Sensei- all senior students had a study skills session delivered by the team from Elevate. They taught us all about the keys to study- highlighting and chunking your work, planning your study and revision timelines before exams and using trigger words. Hopefully the students can put these strategies into practise to help them be successful!
Reminder that students need to keep up to date with all their class work. If they are getting behind, they can attend small group tutoring on Monday or Wednesdays. There are also lunchtime sessions running on Monday and Thursdays.

🌟Year 12 Urban Quest Excursion 🌟
On Thursday, our Year 12s took part in an Amazing Race around Melbourne! They competed for a trophy (and bragging rights), and showed their knowledge of the city grid. They also showed their great teamwork skills, experienced a sense of achievement and of course, showed respect to others while moving through the city. A congratulations to Ms Hollands Team for coming first and in the top 20 finishing times for ALL schools involved in Urban Quests Amazing Race. 🏆
