Keys Please
All our Year 10 students have last week participated in the VicRoads Keys Please presentation. All other secondary schools will be doing the same over the next three weeks.
Keys Please is an essential component of our school’s personal development program and is the first stage of the Shepparton Secondary Schools Ready to Drive program.
This session will help to make the learning to drive process easier and help to make your child a safer driver. There are strict rules about learning to drive. Attending Keys Please will help ensure your child understands and meets the new requirements.
This program will provide information about how to get your “L’s”, how to fill out the LOG BOOK correctly as well as plenty of tips on getting the 120 hours of supervised driving practice.
There will be a special Keys Please presentation held on Tuesday 21st March, commencing at 7 pm, in the Wanganui Park Secondary College staffroom for interested parents and/or supervising drivers.
As parents will usually be the main supervising driver for their son/daughter, it is important to be aware of their role in the driver training process. Tips for reducing stress between learner and supervising driver will be offered and there will be plenty of time for questions.
For more information contact your school.

Xuno
On Thursday 16th of February, parents were invited to attend the XUNO information night held in the staffroom. Over 40 parents attended and were given an insight into the use of the XUNO Parent Portal. Topics included finding student timetables, student attendance, communication with teachers, progress reports and feedback, all of which can be found on XUNO. This is hopefully the beginning of increased parent use of XUNO. If you are experiencing any problems with XUNO, please contact the school. There is a possibility of holding another XUNO Information night prior to Parent-teacher interviews depending on the number of enquiries.
