ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS' REPORT

EXAMS

Congratulations to all students in Years 8 - 11 who have completed exams over recent weeks. These important assessment tasks provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate their learning this semester and helps them prepare for the challenges they will face in Year 12.  We encourage all students to look beyond the grades and marks awarded, carefully consider their strengths and areas for improvement, and act upon the feedback provided by teachers.

VCE ORIENTATION WEEK

All students undertaking VCE studies in 2018 will begin their work next week by attending Orientation Week classes in their chosen subjects (commencing Monday 3 December).  It is critical that students attend all orientation classes with a commitment to work hard. Participating in Orientation Week and completing all holiday homework is essential to ensure all students successfully begin their studies in 2019.

JUNIOR SCHOOL BOOKLISTS

Booklist orders for students in the Junior School next year can now be completed online.  The link to Campion Education is on the College website or can be accessed here. If you wish to have your order delivered to the school (to be collected on Thursday 24 January), the online process needs to be done by Monday 17 December. Otherwise, families can choose to have their orders home delivered at their own convenience. If you would like a hard copy of the Junior School booklist, one can be collected from the General Office.

END OF YEAR ARRANGEMENTS

We look forward to Year 7 and 8 students taking part in the end of year activities on Thursday 13 and Friday 14 December. Details are available through the Compass event - we ask parents to please ensure payment and consent as soon as possible. In the final week of the year, the college will be conducting Presentation Night rehearsals on Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 December.
