Senior School
Welcome
A big welcome back to our Year 11 and 12 Students and families. It is pleasing to see that the VCE students have shown enthusiasm towards their studies and are making good use of the VCE Centre during their study periods. They all seem ready for a productive year!
We also extend a very warm welcome to all new students who have joined MGSC for their VCE. We hope you settle in quickly and make lots of new friends.
It has been a busy start to Term 1. To date we have had the Year 12 Conference, the Year 12 Formal, year level assemblies, lunchtime briefings and the Senior Round Robin.
Year 12 Conference
Thank you to the Senior School team for planning and running the Year 12 Conference. The students had a great day listening to some engaging motivational speakers; Himal Pillay, Sasha Kaluri and Sonya Karras, talking to them about careers, success and real issues they deal with everyday. The students were reminded of their important roles and responsibilities as leaders of Mentone Girls’ Secondary College, to ensure they uphold the school values and lead by example. The day concluded with the students receiving their VCE badge. Thank you to the Senior School Team for organising a great day!
The Year 12 Formal
On Friday 9 February the Year 12s had their formal. It was a lovely night full of dancing, singing and laughing. Some of my personal highlights were dancing with Ms Colmanet, Ms Sleep, Ms Ta and Ms Elloy. As well as getting to see everyones stunning dresses, hair and makeup. The night was an incredible experience and something that lived up to my expectations, I had so much fun and I can’t wait to have many fun experiences with my year level. Also shout out to Ms Duggan, Ms Brown and Mr Clancy for their epic dance moves, I am a little sad I missed them :)

Year 11 & Year 12 Policy Agreement
Thank you to the families who have provided consent to the Policy Agreement outlined on compass. This includes the Attendance Policy, Assessment and Reporting Policy, including Rescheduling SACs, and the Authentication of Student Work Policy.
It is important that all students and parents/guardians are aware of the school’s regulations and standards in line with VCAA guidelines. You can find this as an event on Compass.
VCE Unit 3/4 Practice Exams
VCE students completing a Unit 3/4 study will participate in practice exams during the second week of the September School Holidays (30 September to the 3 October). The school will run practice exams as it will help students gain valuable insight into their progress and be able to pinpoint areas for revision before the external exams. It is an expectation that all students will attend these exams. A timetable will be released closer to the time.
