VERMONT SECONDARY COLLEGE 

YEAR 12, 2023 VCE HIGH PERFORMERS  

 On Tuesday 20th February, in our first Senior and Junior college assembly for the year, we had the great pleasure of celebrating and acknowledging the outstanding performance of students from the VCE class of 2023. It was a wonderful opportunity to present these outstanding students to the college community. 

Learning Area Awards – These awards are presented to the student who has achieved the highest VCE study score, at 40 or above, in a particular subject for 2023. 

In addition to the subject awards at the assembly, the college also recognised the exceptional academic achievements of students who received ATARs that place them in the top 5.0% of the state, a fantastic achievement by any standards. These are:

At the Senior Assembly Alex Lee and Freya Sutanto were awarded the Deakin Shield for their significant contribution to the college in their key leadership role as School Captains. The Deakin Shield is presented each year by the Hon Michael Sukkar MP Federal Member for Deakin. I would like to thank Michael for attending our Senior presentation assembly and for his ongoing support of the Deakin Shield and the college. 

Well done to all award winners and we wish you and all 2023 VCE students every success in the future. 

INFORMATION REGARDING RIDING TO SCHOOL 

We have had a few near misses on Morack Road both late last year and early this year and so a reminder to students who ride to school and for their parents/guardians.  

For safety reasons, bikes are only to be walked on school grounds – this includes out of school hours. 

A helmet must be worn when riding. 

Children 12 years and over are not permitted to ride on the footpath. 

We have included the following information regarding riding on footpaths from the VicRoads website: - 

People who are able to ride their bike on a footpath include: 

children under the age of 12 (very few VSC students fit this category!) 

adults accompanying children under 12 years 

Australia Post workers  

those with a relevant medical certificate 

When riding on a footpath a bike rider must keep to the left, give way to pedestrians and slow down if overtaking. If riding on a footpath, watch out for drivers entering and exiting driveways that may not be able to see you approaching. 

VERMONT SECONDARY COLLEGE ATHLETICS CARNIVAL 

Thursday 7th MARCH  

The annual VSC Athletics carnival will be held on Thursday 7th March at the East Burwood Athletics Track. This is always a fantastic day where the whole school has the opportunity to come together and compete and be with friends in a supportive and friendly atmosphere. It is one of the key events on the school calendar. 

All students in Years 7 to 12 are expected to attend this whole school event. There are no classes running at school and there is no ‘sign out’ option for senior students. All students are expected to attend for the entire day.  

It would also be great to see all students compete in at least two events and do not forget to wear your house colours. Parents and guardians are invited to attend on the day to support their children. If you have any questions about the day, please contact our Sport Leader, Amy Malander or Sport Assistant, Sean Gillespie.
