Textbooks

 Any books that were not collected on Tuesday are available for collection directly from Collins Booksellers in the Langtree Mall.  All students  require a copy of the Oxford ‘MyEnglish’ textbook for their year level. If you haven’t placed your textbook order yet, visit Collins Booksellers in the Langtree Mall to do so. 

Homework

All students benefit from extending their learning at home, supported by parents and carers. Setting up a quiet, comfortable space for reading and homework helps make the most of this time. For more ideas on how to support students with their learning at home, this is a great resource… https://www.education.vic.gov.au/…/lear…/Pages/homework.aspx

Compass App

Compass allows students to access their timetables, daily news and learning tasks. The Compass app is available in the Apple and Android app stores. Current students use their regular school username and password to log in. New students will be issued with log in details next week. If you have lost your parent log in details, please email merbein.p10@edumail.vic.gov.au and our IT staff will assist as soon as possible. Compass log in details for new parents will be mailed home in the first weeks of school.

Instrumental Music Lessons

J. Hudson

The optional Instrumental Music lessons will begin in the first few weeks of Term 1. Instrumental Music teachers are currently creating groups from the returned Expression of Interest forms and those students already in the program from 2019.

If you were enrolled in lessons in 2019 you will automatically be re enrolled  into a group for 2020 however, if you no longer wish to continue lessons please have your parent/guardian contact the office to let us know. 

Students can still collect an Expression of Interest form from the school's main office at any time during the year although spaces are limited so we can not always ensure you a position straight away.   If you have any questions please see Mr Hudson.
