Thank you to our other students and staff for being mindful of when these important exams are taking place. Your respectful conduct when staying away from the portable and down the corridor during exam times has been greatly appreciated.

Year 10 Hoddle Waddle
On Wednesday, eight Year 10 students took part in the Hoddle Waddle, a Melbourne orientation day to help them prepare for their upcoming work experience placements.
Working in small groups, students practised using public transport and travelled to a range of workplaces across Melbourne, including Docklands Health, Absolute MMA, The Man Cave, CDG Sports Management, Clifton Hill Primary School and DH Engineering.
The day gave students a chance to become more confident finding their way around the city and planning their journeys to work. They were also able to learn more about the different workplaces they will be visiting during their placements.
