VCE Examinations Commence
This week marks the beginning of the VCE examination period, with students sitting the English examination on Tuesday. Examinations will continue over the coming weeks before our Year 10 and 11 students commence their end-of-year exams.
To all students undertaking examinations, I wish you every success. While exams are an important opportunity to demonstrate learning, they are also the culmination of many months, and in some cases years, of consistent effort and preparation. As students move through this period, I encourage them to focus on the habits that support success: structured revision, healthy routines, adequate sleep and regular breaks. Balance is important at this time as it will support you to perform your best.
We wish all students the very best for the weeks ahead and look forward to celebrating their efforts and achievements.
State Athletics
State athletics was held on Friday the 16th of October at the Melbourne Sports Centres – Lakeside Stadium.
Vermont Secondary College had many individuals and relay teams competing on the day and performed incredibly with 3 first places, 6 second places, 3 third places and 4 other placings. These results are a testament to the work of our students, both as individuals and teams, as well as our Sports Staff, particularly Amy Malander and David Clements who prepped the students and led them on the day. Well done to all involved.
For full results of the days competition see the sports section of this newsletter.
Melbourne Cup Day - Tuesday 3rd November
Parents and guardians please note that Monday 2nd November (the day before Melbourne Cup Day) will be a normal school day for Years 7, 8 and 9 under DE (Department of Education) guidelines however we will run an alternate timetable, which will merge classes, if required on the day.
Years 10 & 11 will have this day as a study day in preparation for exams and for the completion of set work.
The canteen will be open but will have a reduced menu and students will need to order if they would like hot food.
