Year 12 Semester Two Reports

Year 12 Semester Two Reports will be available to parents from Thursday 20th October in pdf format via the PAM (Parent Access Module) in SIMON.  Please use the login details and password that were provided at the commencement of this year.  Regarding graded assessment, please be aware that all VCE Unit 4 grades are not official Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority grades and are subject to modification.  The coming weeks are a crucial time for revision in preparation for the final VCE examinations.  Your son/daughter’s report contains specific advice regarding final examination preparation in each subject area.  Please support your son/daughter to maintain a focused work ethic throughout this final period of his/her VCE studies.  Year 12 students are expected to maintain contact with each subject teacher right up to the day of each examination.  Units 3&4 classes will continue to run at normal scheduled times to enable ongoing access to subject teachers throughout the examination period.
