Middle Sub School

Term 3 is a busy term for students and staff in the Middle School. Progress reports have been issued for students and we encourage you to discuss these with your students’. If you have any concerns in regards to your students’ progress please feel to contact the sub-school. Students will also be asked to reflect on their reports during Tutorial classes and to set goals for Term 3 and 4. The sub-school are also currently reviewing Semester One reports and organising meetings with students who may be at-risk.

 

Year 10 Formal

The Year 10 Formal was held on Friday the 25th of August at Witchmount Winery in Plumpton. It was great to see so many students, and teachers, dressed to impress on the night. Students were treated to a 3 course meal and were allowed to dance the night away on the dancefloor. We were lucky to have the musical talents of Year 12 student Peter Andrejic who kept the dancefloor pumping all night. The students were extremely well behaved and exhibited the values of Melton Secondary College.

 

Work Experience

Year 10 students will also be participating in the Work Experience program this term. This will start on Monday 28th of August and run for the whole week. Students who are unable to attend work experience will have an alternative program organised for them at school. Students have been preparing for work experience in their tutorial sessions. We would encourage parents to discuss work experience with their students, in particular ensuring students know the following:

  • The workplace address
  • The hours of work
  • Required uniform/clothing
  • Name of supervisor/s
  • Lunch/food arrangements

We have been asking students to contact their work places to clarify any details.

 

STARR Values

The college is currently focusing on the value of respect as part of the college’s STARR values. We are encouraging students to develop their understanding of the value of respect and how this can impact their learning in the classroom. This includes respect for themselves, for others and the environment. Students will receive STARR awards for demonstrating respect throughout the college.
