Year 11/12
Assistant Principal News
Term two is always a busy term for the Senior School.
All Year 11 and 12 VCE students recently participated in mid-year examinations. Research shows that students perform much better when exposed to extensive exam training and explicit feedback. Mid-year exams provide students with the opportunity to practice exam techniques in order to maximise results. Teachers can also address areas of concern in student performance and exam technique. As in previous years we will continue to utilise mid-year student exam results as an indicator for 2023 course selection. Our leadership team will be examining these results in preparation for course selection interviews and the results will serve as a guide to the appropriateness of subject selection. 2023 Course Selection interview are scheduled for week four Term 3.
Course Selection Information night is scheduled for Tuesday July 12th. Learning Area leaders and Year Level leaders are collaborating and planning highly engaging information sessions and a subject expo to ensure parents and students are presented with accurate information regarding the changes to the Senior Secondary Certificates.
Planning for the new Senior Secondary Certificates is well underway. The VCAL team spent a day at Salandra Rise completing professional development around the pillars of applied learning, constructive alignment, rubrics, integrated projects and comparing new and old curriculums. Some members of the VCAL team have also been interviewed by VCAA to feature in a promotional training video for the new VCE Vocational Major Certificate. Further information regarding the new Senior Secondary Certificates will be communicated soon.
Last Friday 17th June 22 of our Senior Students and 4 staff members headed off on the much-anticipated Central Australia trip. This is a wonderful learning opportunity for the participating students to experience.
Congratulations to all our Senior School students on successfully completing Semester One. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable holidays.

Year 12 VCE News
Senior School Mid-Year Exams
Congratulations to our year 12 VCE students who sat their mid-year exams last week. The students were well prepared and focused which was really pleasing to see.
We will be having an awards assembly on the last day of term to present achievement and growth awards to one student per subject.
Unit 3 done and dusted!
Our year 12s have completed Unit 3!
The past two weeks, in particular, have been very stressful and tiring (with exams and SACs), but they got through it! Lots of handwork and perseverance was shown from our year 12s.
I wish them all a well-deserved and restful break, to recharge and get ready to take on Unit 4!
Year 12 Well-Being Day
Our year 12 Well-Being excursion at Strike in Melbourne Central was a huge success! The students had a well-deserved rest day, where they took some time away from their studies and had lots of fun!
