Article by Lisa Field, Head of Learning Senior School  

The examination timetable and supporting information was sent to families at the start of Term 2. Please note that students are required to make a note of the times they are required at school. The examination timetable will not be available on Compass.  

A reminder of the following dates for students in Years 10 and 11:

Reminders of Key Information: 

Uniform  

Students are to wear their full winter uniform for all examinations and adhere to the College’s uniform policy. Students must adhere to all sections of the Uniform Policy and if expectations cannot be met, they will not be permitted to sit their examinations and these will be rescheduled.  

Student Check In

Students are to check in for the examination in the Atrium 30 minutes before the examination commencement time. At check in they are required to present photo identification and any special required materials (e.g. dictionary, mathematics bound reference book).

Absence

Any absences must be recorded as an attendance note on Compass and a medical certificate supplied within 48 hours. Students will be notified of the rescheduled time for the examination if possible. Absences that are not approved will result in a score of 0 being assigned. 

Results

Examination results will be returned to the students prior to the end of Term 2. As a part of improved feedback processes students will receive their examination score and either a marking guide or examination report. Results will be made available via Compass and the student’s End of Semester Report.  

Year 10 & 11 Students Gain Industry Skills

Article by Laura Bonini, VCE Vocational Major Coordinator

On Friday 15th May, our Year 10 and Year 11 Unit 1 Work Related Skills students successfully completed their Espresso and Food Handling course, delivered by Education Is Key. This fully accredited program provided students with valuable, real-world skills that are highly regarded in the hospitality industry.

Throughout the day, students developed practical barista techniques and food safety knowledge, culminating in the opportunity to prepare and serve coffee to staff. It was fantastic to see their confidence grow as they applied their learning in a real service environment.

This course provides students with a meaningful micro-credential, enhancing their employability and supporting their readiness for the workforce. Congratulations to all students involved for their effort and professionalism.

Each fortnight, the College Careers Team publishes a newsletter providing students and parents with the most up-to-date career information, events and opportunities.
