Year 10 News

Congratulations to all of the Year 10 students for completing their 2-week Work Experience placements earlier this term. We have had many positive reports from employers. 

The 10 students have continued to work hard this term after returning from Work Experience. 

Semester One reports will be out on Compass at the end of next week.

Please be aware that next term will be extremely busy choosing every student’s course

for 2024. Students have received information on Microsoft Teams about their options for 2024. Please research with your child the VCE and VCE VM course options. 

The University Campus will be holding an information evening on Wednesday 2nd of August which will provide families with more information about the VCE and VCE VM course offerings. 

More information can also be found at https://www.kurnai.co/senior-campus-view and https://kurnai.co/senior-campus 

Camp

The trip to Tasmania in term three, September 4th – 8th is now full. The students will be flying over to Hobart and touring the City, including Salamanca Place. They will visit Port Arthur, Richmond, Coles Bay Cataract Gorge, and Devonport. On the return trip, the students will sail overnight on the Spirit of Tasmania.

Attendance

This year we will be trying to increase student attendance rates, especially at Year 10. We would really appreciate a phone call to the 24-Hour attendance line if your child is absent from school. This helps our attendance officer track students and improve our % attendance for each student.  

PBS

Students can receive a KPA SMS message to parents from teachers each lesson for positive behaviour. Students are also receiving postcards for displaying consistent behaviours for the four school pillars of Excellence, Relationships, Work Ethic, and Engagement. This year we will be rewarding students with great attendance at school and for GPA reports at or above 3.5.
