Senior School Report

Welcome back to Term 3! 

I hope that all students were able to rest and recover, ready for the busy term ahead.

Let me briefly introduce myself. My name is  Kate Harnetty and I am the Acting Head of Senior School for the remainder of the year.

Congratulations to Mr Corrie on his promotion to Assistant Principal. 

Semester Two and particularly Term 3 brings new challenges, with the majority of learning for both Unit 2 and Unit 4 occurring in this term. 

For our students, this means that they will need to be diligent and consistent in their revision, to ensure that they are consolidating their learning and are best prepared for future lessons.  Consistent revision is crucial; we recommend twenty hours of revision each week to ensure that assessment results accurately reflect knowledge and skills developed. 

All School Assessed Coursework will be completed, for Unit 4, by the end of Term 3 and, for Unit 2, by early Term 4.  As a result, students will need to be organised and diligent with their study, as they will be completing numerous assessment tasks within a relatively short period of time. 

To assist students in their organisation, SAC calendars have been provided and placed on Compass.  We also encourage families to be familiar with the assessment schedule to adequately support their child during this busy and often stressful time.  If you are concerned about your child’s progress and/or wellbeing, please contact the relevant Year Level Coordinator; we are all here to help and support the students to do their best.

Senior School Information Night

This week a Senior Programs night was held to provide information about study options for 2023. It is at this time of year that information about course selection and extra curriculum material is provided. Changes to the Victorian senior student program in 2023 were outlined at the meeting. Hopefully you were able to attend and found the night informative.
