Senior School News
Official classes for our Year 12 students concluded on Wednesday 24 October. Our Year 12 Class of 2018 can be proud of their achievements. We have seen this group of students achieve excellent results in academic performance, in extra-curricular activities, as well as provide leaders in student activities, sport, music and community involvement.
The VCAA examination period commenced on Wednesday 31 October and will conclude on Wednesday 21 November. Our exam supervisors have commented that this year’s students have been the best they have supervised over the years. Congratulations to all Year 12 students on the perfect start to their exams.
I am sure this is due in part to the practice exams held at the mid year and over the September holidays and the high expectations communicated by Year 12 teachers. It has been very pleasing to see the high number of students who have been at school, meeting with their teachers, attending revision lectures and completing practice exam papers.
Thank you to the Year 12 teachers who give freely of their time and work diligently in assisting students, marking practice exams and holding revision lectures to assist students in preparing thoroughly for these exams.

Early Commencement Program

As in previous years, we are running a compulsory Early Commencement Program for all 2019 Year 11 and Year 12 students from Monday 3 December to Friday 7 December. Teachers will conduct classes for the week and the work covered will not be repeated next year. The program gives students the opportunity to get a head start with their studies and enables them to complete preparatory work over the summer school holidays.
Valedictory Dinner
On Wednesday night 24 October we farewelled our Year 12 students at the Valedictory Dinner held at The Pullman, Albert Park. Over 600 people attended the dinner and many awards were presented. Seeing these wonderful young adults completing high school was a proud moment for many of us.
It is hard to believe that six years ago they were only eleven or twelve year olds and starting high school for the first time.
The dinner was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the students’ achievements with their parents and teachers.
I would like to thank Ms Nicole Filippou and Mr Simon Cameron for all of their hard work in the organisation of this event.
Congratulations to Stella Cowan and Matthew Coulter who won the prestigious Caltex Best All Rounder Award.
