Principal's Report

Welcome back to the start of Term 4. 

Year 12 VCE & VCE-VM

The College’s Year 12 VCE and VCE -VM students will complete their final classes on Tuesday 20th of October. Students will have access to their teachers during their normal class time up until Wednesday 4th of November. Students wishing to seek further feedback/support prior to their exam or requiring additional time to obtain a satisfactory completion are encouraged to attend classes as needed. 

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 or 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. In particular thank you to the Senior School Team, led by Assistant Principal – Mrs Louise Amor, and supported by Leading Teacher – Mrs Ranaye Johnstone, and Year Level Coordinators – Miss Magenta Blair and Miss Taylor Shelley. Your care and commitment to the students is inspiring and greatly appreciated.

Hats Reminder

A reminder that in Term 4 students are required to wear a hat during recess and lunchtime, or during classes outside (e.g., PE classes). Replacement hats can be purchased from Horsham College’s administration office.
