Senior School Report  

Although VCE and VCAL classes have concluded, there has still been plenty of activity in Senior School. Teachers have finished their reports for Semester 2 and Orientation for next year’s Year 11 and Year 12 VCE and VCAL classes has been conducted. The Year 12 students had a ‘Two week’ orientation program where they were given their first formative assessment task to complete in each of their Year 12 subjects.

The Year 11 and the VCAL classes had a ‘One week’ Orientation Program.

If you have a student going into Year 11 or 12 next year, please ask them about the Holiday Homework which they will have received during the Orientation program. Holiday Homework has been set for all VCE and VCAL subjects, and students will have some hours of work that is due in on the first day of classes in 2017.

It is expected that this homework is completed on time so that the classes can begin smoothly. If homework is not completed, students will be required to stay back after school in the first week to finish the work.

The Year 12 students of 2017 celebrated the end of their schooling (what they have known for 13 years or more) by attending their Year 12 formal, which was held at Luxor Reception and Function Centre on Wednesday, 22 November.

Once again, they made us so proud to be part of St Albans SC as their behaviour and respect for everyone around them was noted by staff and other guests at the venue. They had a wonderful time and made the most of taking photos in the photo-booth with their friends.

The VCE Results are released on Friday, 15 December and again this year we are expecting the students at the college to achieve great results.  On Thursday, 20 December the college will host a Morning Tea for our High Achievers to celebrate their outstanding successes.

Just a reminder that Year 12, 2018 Parent Information evening is on Monday, 5 February starting at 6:30pm.

The Year 11, 2018 Parent Information evening is on Monday, 19 February starting at 6:30pm.

Many thanks to the parents who have contacted us when their child is absent for any reason. This is of great assistance to the Year Level Coordinators, as we 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, especially at the beginning of the new school year.
