Senior School
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, photo day, year level assemblies, lunchtime briefings, Senior Round Robin and the Year 12 Formal.
Year 12 Conference
The Year 12 Conference was a great success. The students participated in a wide range of activities and heard from a number of guest speakers. We welcomed four past students; Hannah Weeks (Class of 2013), Tash Carmeni (Class of 2016), Caitlyn Hughes and Indi Roberts (Class of 2024). It was lovely to have the students return and share their journey after Year 12. They all spoke highly of their time at MGSC and offered some great advice to this year’s cohort.
We also hosted two motivational speakers; Sasha Kaluri and Sonya Karras, talking to them about careers, success, and real issues they deal with everyday, as well as our own Karen Garton who presented on ATARs and pathways. In addition, the students took part in a Hip Hop class, which they thoroughly enjoyed.
A big thank you to the Senior School team for the planning of the Year 12 Conference. Without the teachers' support, days like this would not be able to run.

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 (28th September to the 1st 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.
Year 12 Formal
The Year 12s had a great night last Friday 13th February at the Year 12 formal. Students arrived in stunning attire, excited to see their friends and enjoy their night. The night was filled with music, dancing, and celebration. A big thank you to the teachers who attended on the night and helped make this special event a success. There were professional photos taken on the night which now have the link to order their photos. Photos will be delivered to school in the coming weeks.
