Year 10, 11 & 12

Assistant Principal's Report

As we approach the end of the school year, it’s time to reflect and celebrate all that has been achieved by our students. Whether our students are wrapping up Year 10, forging ahead in Year 11, or finishing Year 12, they’ve shown incredible resilience, determination and growth throughout the year.

To our Year 12 Class of 2024, congratulations on completing 13 years of schooling which certainly is a milestone. As you step into the world beyond school, take pride in how far you’ve come and embrace the opportunities ahead.  Remember, the end of this chapter is just the beginning of an exciting new one. We are so proud of the young adults you have become and can’t wait to hear about your future successes as an alumni of Wyndham Central College.

To our Year 10 and 11 students, well done on another year of hard work and personal growth.   Please use the holidays to recharge, reflect on your progress, and be prepared to return to school ready to take on new challenges. The foundation you’ve built this year will set you up for even greater achievements in the future.

As the holidays begin, I encourage all of you to:

• Celebrate Your Efforts: You’ve worked hard, take the time to acknowledge your achievements.
• Recharge and Relax: Enjoy time with family, pursue your interests and take care of your wellbeing.
• Look Ahead: Set your sights on what’s next and return with a mindset ready to tackle new opportunities.

As parents/carers, your role in your child’s education is vital. Engage in conversations about their progress, interests, and aspirations. Celebrate their achievements and provide a steady source of assistance and encouragement.  Your support during this time is invaluable, celebrate milestones, however small, and remind your child that every effort counts.

Step Up classes have finished.  Please ensure that all holiday homework is completed, work is revised and that all students have all their necessary books, equipment, and uniform in place for the beginning of next year. 

It is vital that all students commence on their very first day of school in 2025.

Year 7 and Year 12 students will commence school on Wednesday 29th January 2025.

Year 8, 9, 10 and 11 students will commence school on Thursday 30th January 2025.

Thank you to the new Year 12 students who presented speeches to their peers for the role of School Captain/Vice Captain for next year, not an easy task for anyone! 

The process involved a written application, a speech on an assembly and an interview with the school leadership team. 

I would like to congratulate the following students for being elected to the positions.

School Vice Captains for 2025

Year 12 results were released by VCAA on Thursday 12 December and students were encouraged to attend the college if they needed any assistance with their future pathways and endeavours.

I hope all Year 12 students achieved their personal best in their studies and final examinations. 

To the Class of 2024, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes as you embark on the next chapter of your journey, whether it be further studies, employment or other pursuits. Remember, you will always be part of our college community and if we can ever assist you in the future, please do not hesitate to reach out.

To the parents, carers and families, thank you for your unwavering support. Your encouragement and involvement play a vital role in your child’s success and we deeply value your partnership with Wyndham Central College.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and relaxing New Year.

Year Level Leader's Report - Year 10

The new Class of 2027 has finished their step up to senior school. Thank you to all students for putting in a huge effort and showing a level of maturity around their new space. 

We completed a campaign and voting process for the SRC representative for Year 10.

Thank you to everyone who nominated, and we will announce the successful candidates early next year. 

On behalf of the Year 10 team we wish you a safe holidays and look forward to working with you next year!

Year Level Leader's Report - Year 11

As we conclude another successful year at Wyndham Central College, I want to celebrate the achievements and resilience of the 2024 Year 11 cohort. This year has been a pivotal time of growth as students navigated the challenges of senior secondary education through VCE and VCE VM program. Student’s determination, adaptability, and hard work have set a strong foundation for their future success. 

I would like to acknowledge the leadership displayed by our students throughout the year:

A special thank you goes to Mr. Jesse Damjanovski, our Year Level Coordinator, and Ms. Kerri De Domenico, our Year Level Administration Assistant, whose support and guidance have been instrumental in the success of our cohort this year. I also extend my sincere appreciation to the Senior Year Team – Mr. Eddy Hatzis, Ms. Nicole Corsetti, and Ms. Trish Walker – as well as the Pathway Team – Ms. Pina Siragusano and Ms. Kathy Karlovic – for their invaluable contributions and continued support throughout the year.

My sincere thanks go to our tutor and classroom teachers for their unwavering dedication and support. Your commitment to helping students reach their goals in their first year of VCE/VCE VM has been nothing short of inspiring.

Finally, I would also like to express my gratitude to Mr. Bryan Woollard, Assistant Principal, and Ms. Leanne Gagatsis, College Principal, whose leadership and guidance have been instrumental in supporting our Year 11 students and team.

We kindly request the support of parents and carers in the following areas:

• Ensuring the purchase of the required textbooks and assisting students in completing their holiday homework.

• Facilitating the purchase of the 2025 school jackets. An online link for this has been shared with students, parents, and carers.

• A reminder of the managed laptop or BYOD program

My heartfelt best wishes go out to all students as they embark on their future endeavours—whether continuing to Year 12, pursuing other courses, or exploring work opportunities in 2025. On behalf of the Year 11 team, I extend my gratitude for your  support in helping our students achieve success.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a Merry Christmas!

Congratulations to the Class of 2024!

As we celebrate the end of the high school journey for our Year 12 students, we also acknowledge the start of an exciting new chapter in their lives.

I would like to extend my sincerest congratulations to our Year 12 students who have completed their VCE, VIP, and VM studies over the past two years. Despite the challenges they have faced, these students have demonstrated remarkable dedication and perseverance.

Receiving a Year 12 certificate is a testament to years of hard work and commitment. I am incredibly proud of each and every one of our students, and I wish them all the best as they embark on their next journey.

To those students who have received first-round offers, congratulations. To those who have secured employment, TAFE, or university placements, well done. And to those who are still exploring their options, I encourage you to pursue your passions and find a path that brings you happiness.
