Assistant Principals' Report

The Year 11 & 12 VCE students have now completed their final assessments for Units 1 & 3. As part of the preparation for their final Year 12 examinations we hold formal examinations to help them learn the skills of revision and time management. We want them to pass these assessments so that we can be certain they have the necessary skills and knowledge for the next phase of learning. If they do not pass on their first attempt, we expect them to complete further revision with their teacher and then re-sit the examination. Please support your child with this process by asking them about their exam results and explaining to them the need for the re-sit if it is necessary. Re-sits will occur in the final week of the term.

This term a number of our senior students have been involved in performances to help them prepare for their performance exams. The school community has been uniformly impressed with the standard of work of our Drama and Music students. The picture below shows one of them, Gypsy Tyrell, also performing at the Year 11 Assembly.

The VCAL students have been involved in the completion of the Personal Development Projects. I have been impressed with the creative ways they have found to raise money for worthy charities and their ability to articulate what they are doing. Some groups have been working on beautifying areas of the school. One of these is the Library Barbeque area which 12A has painted with flags representing the cultural background of our students (see picture below).
