Term 2 Update
As Term 2 draws to a close, we would like to wish all students a successful end to the term and a safe and enjoyable break over the holidays. Good luck to all Year 10 students on their work experience placement in the final week of term.
In Term 3 Middle School students will begin new elective subjects for the semester, Year 9 students can look forward to City Experience and Year 10 students will have the Year 10 Formal and Central Australia Trip both happening towards the end of term.

Year 10 Exams
The Year 10 student have recently completed their first experience of sitting subject exams at the college. The behaviour of students throughout all of their exams was fantastic and we hope students will receive some pleasing results.
Students should now have a better understanding of how to best prepare for exams and the amount of study required to achieve pleasing results.

METEC Driver Training
On the 29th and 30th of May as part of the Year 10 Health course, with a focus on road safety and driver education, 140 Year 10 students got to experience driving automatic and manual cars. Following a number of classroom sessions that investigated risks associated with driving, campaigns to reduce youth car accidents, driving procedures and road rules, students had the opportunity to drive one another under the supervision of a driving instructor. The METEC course included hills, a slalom area, 3-point turn area, traffic lights, roundabouts and a variety of other road environments. Some students even sat their Learner Permit test on the day, with a 100% success rate! The feedback from students was overwhelmingly positive as they learnt valuable information and then were able to put their new knowledge straight into practice on the driving course. This day encouraged students to feel more confident with their road knowledge and driving ability.

2018 Early Entry VCE
Many current Year 9 students will hopefully achieve some pleasing results in their upcoming semester reports. Early in Term 3, students will begin exploring elective subjects and courses for Year 10 in 2018, with many students looking at the possibility to undertake a VCE Unit 1 & 2. In order to qualify for this opportunity, students must have achieved an Academic Award based on their Semester 1 academic performance. Further information about this opportunity and the subject selection process for 2018 will occur in Term 3.
