Year 12 VCE Study

Attendance

As we head into term 4 and the last few weeks of school for year 12 students it is important that they remember the attendance requirements for both VCE and VCAL.  Although most SACs and SATs have now been completed it is essential that students are in class, prepared and on time.

It is not okay for students to miss class to study at home whilst classes are still running. 

Teachers will be working with students around final aspects of their courses, revision and practice questions.  Students need to be in class getting feedback and support to ensure their learning is scaffolded.   Once the exam period begins students may study at home if they wish, however their teachers will be available for support and assistance during their normal timetabled classes. 

Revision Lectures

The Later Years team were very impressed with the number of students who have signed up for the revision lectures offered by the Knox Network of Secondary schools.  There are many commercial companies that offer VCE revision lectures to students over the school holiday period.  We hope that this program in addition to the revision classes run at school on the second week of the holidays are a great kick start to student's study program.

Year 12 Last Days

It is really important the the year 12 students keep focused until the very end.  It can be very tempting to begin celebrating the last of everything:  the last SAC, the last class, the last home group etc.  We have found through previous experience that this is detrimental to study and that it is important that students keep the celebration till after the exams.  We ask that parents talk to their children about the importance of staying the distance and on task until the very end.

As a result of wanting to keep students focused the key celebration of year 12 will be after the final exam.  This is the Year 12 Valedictory Dinner on Wednesday 20th November and will be held at:

The Grand

Cathies Lane,

Wantirna South,  3152

This is a great occasion where students, parents and teachers come together to celebrate the achievements of year 12 after the exams period is over.  Information regarding tickets and purchase price has been published on Compass.
