Senior School Report

Despite VCE and VCAL classes being finished, this is still a very busy time for Senior School students and staff.

Year 11 and Year 12 examinations have run smoothly, as has work placement for the VCAL students. We are in the middle of the Year 11 into 12 Orientation Program. Students who are doing Year 12 VCE in 2020 will have their first formative assessment at the end of the two week program.

As mentioned in the previous newsletter, our Annual Year 12 Awards Night at Moonee Valley was a prestigious and inspiring event which showed just how talented so many of our students are. The whole school assembly to farewell the Year 12 students was a wonderful celebration of their time at the school. As always, the costumes were entertaining and students’ behaviour was excellent. We are all proud of them.

Year 11 students had their final assembly on Monday 28 October. It was wonderful to see the Year 11 music perform. Students received awards for their achievements in their classes and as well as awards for 100% Attendance.

For subject awards, please see the full list contained in this newsletter.

The Year 12 Formal for the class of 2019 was held at the Luxor Function Centre in Taylors Lakes on Thursday 21 November. There was great enthusiasm and excitement about this with the students. This event marks the end of their exams and their last meeting together as our Year 12 students for this year.

Many thanks to the parents who contact us when their child is absent for any reason. This is of great assistance to the Year Level Coordinators, as we will call home regularly if there are any unexplained absences for your child.

The Case Management process continues to monitor closely the attendance, achievement and individual needs of all our students. Please contact us on 9366 2555 if you have any queries or concerns about the progress of your child.
