Remote Learning Work - 

Students have demonstrated their commitment to the College value of embrace learning in their subjects. Below is a snapshot of some quality work completed recently during remote learning in maths, english, science, food studies and the human body in motion.

Careers and Pathways Update Term 3

It has been a busy term in Careers and Pathways for the Year 10 students. Students started the term by finalising their VCE and VCAL pathway choices for 2022. It was excellent to see so many students and families attend our Year 11 Information Night and seeing the motivation and engagement of our Year 10 students with the Career Counselling program. All of our students put in a great amount of effort when reflecting on their career aspirations and learning goals. As one of the Year 10 Career Counsellors, I felt privileged to hear about the aspirations and bright futures of our Edgar’s Creek students. 

In the past two weeks, Year 10 students have received assistance to apply for their Unique Student Identifier (USI). A USI is a unique code that allows students to apply for VET, TAFE, and University courses. We expect all students to apply for their USI code in Year 10 so they are prepared for VET and VCE next year. If your child has not made a USI, please support them to do this as soon as possible. Instructions can be found on your child’s Career and Pathways Google Classroom. 

The Year 10 students are currently in the process of revising the skills they learnt in their Elevate Education Study Skills sessions earlier in the year. Reviewing the information covered in these sessions will allow Year 10’s to further develop their independent study skills, which will be essential for a successful VCE and VCAL experience in 2022 and 2023.

VET students – Enrolment forms 

The College will be emailing out instructions to finalise the applications for VET subjects next year. When you receive the instructions, please fill out any blank areas in the application form and email the forms to Angela Narayan-Butler through the Compass portal. 

Students can expect to hear about the result of their application early in Term 4.

At this time, your child and a parent or carer will be required to attend a compulsory information event for the VET course your child has been accepted into. You will be given more information about this event closer to the date.
