SENIOR SCHOOL NEWS

Sarah Bridges

Senior Sub School Manager

Students are settling back into College routine well and Semester 2 started this week. VCE progress reports were released and students are encouraged to discuss their progress with teachers.

VET

It is essential that all students attend VET. Students have been advised about the return to face to face learning for each VET and are expected to attend. VET is an essential part of a student’s senior years program and contributes to the overall VCAL or VCE certificate.

A VCAL student is only able to obtain a Foundation Certificate if they do not pass a VET course. Students and parents are liable for the cost of the VET regardless of attendance and withdrawal.

Year 12

Advanced notice of Graduation. Graduation will be held on Monday, 29 October, 2020 at The Pier  (Geelong Waterfront).  Tickets will be $100 per head, including the student. At this stage, due to Covid-19 restrictions we are unsure of the number of tickets we will be able to issue per student. We are aiming for 5 per student, as in previous years. Tickets will go on sale in September. Please start planning for this as it is a wonderful event that celebrates the end of time at NGSC .

ISP Cards

Students are reminded that they must show ISP cards and sign in and out at the Senior Sub School Office. When students arrive at the College they must remain on the premises until they sign out, or the end of the school day, due to safety reasons.

Year 11

Year 12 Jumpers for 2021. Students will be voting on the design for the 2021 Year 12 Jumper next week. Please be aware that the jumper will cost approximately between $80 and $100 and will need to be paid for at the time of the final order. More information to be sent out next term.
