Speech Day

Invitations to Speech Day were emailed to all Senior Campus parents at the end of last term.  Replies are due on Monday 10th October to enable arrangements to be finalised.  Should there be any member of the school community who has still to reply to such an invitation, and wishes to attend, it is important that contact be made with the Principal’s PA, Mrs Linda Archer, before close of business on Monday. 

 

All school families are reminded that, once again this year, Speech Day is a ticketed event; it will not be possible to find those without a pre-arranged ticket a place in the auditorium.

VCE Results December 2016

The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority and the College encourage students to make use of the range of options available to access their VCE and VET senior secondary results. This will ensure students are able to access their results in a timely manner on results release day, Monday 12 December 2016.

Students can access results through the following options:

  • SMS service (includes the ATAR) – this ‘push’ service is detailed in the VCE Exams Navigator 2016 and requires students to register. A small fee ($1.10) is charged for this service
  • Web-based results service (includes the ATAR) – this ‘pull’ service experiences high demand between 7.00am and 7.30am on results release day, which could cause a slight delay in students accessing their results
  • Mail – Statements of Results are posted to students’ home addresses
  • Home school – Schools are able to print a VCE Result Summary Report for each student and make these available after 7.00am on results release day by prior arrangement with the student.
  • Digital Delivery Pilot – in 2016 the VCAA is conducting a Digital Delivery Pilot, using direct email to communicate individual results to students. Schools can use the attached registration form to record personal email address for each student who wishes to participate in the pilot. Participating students will receive an email at 7.00am on results release day containing their final grades and study score. The VCAA will not use student details obtained through this process for any unauthorised purpose.  (Note: this process does not include ATAR information)

If students to register for the Digital Delivery Pilot they should see me before Friday 4 November to provide the details required via the registration form which I must submit to the VCAA.
